A register that explains what needs attention
Review dates, flags, applicability, file state and sign-off progress expose different questions rather than one misleading complete status.

Office / Policies & Returns
School policy register, review dates and signatures
Student Radar helps school leaders maintain policy owners, review dates, versioned files and required staff signatures. Connected tasks support the next review or return preparation; website publication requires its own authorised workflow.
School staff decide applicability, approval and publication. A saved review date, signature count or completed task is not legal compliance or proof that a statutory return was submitted.
Check context, record the decision, review the result
Keep policy ownership, review dates, versions and staff sign-off together.
Review the policy register, maintain the agreed next review, connect versioned documents and required signatures, and make any website-publication decision separately.
01
Give the policy an owner and explicit review date
Register details separate applicability, review cycle and next review from file contents and approval.
02
Return to the retained register revision
The fictional revised title and review date are retained without implying a new file or approval.
03
Choose the specific file or lifecycle action
The actual More actions menu exposes available version/PDF/archive controls for the fictional policy.

Policies & Returns
Coordinate the next step without claiming a return was filed
Tasks support work and due dates; the empty fictional list is not a statutory-return submission tracker.
Policies & Returns
Keep document records distinct from register entries
The Documents section retains its separate file/version workflow; no documents have been listed in this fictional example.
Policies & Returns
Review the saved policy on a phone
The policy row stacks its owner, date, status and actions at phone width.
A clear record for the responsible team
School staff decide applicability, approval and publication. A saved review date, signature count or completed task is not legal compliance or proof that a statutory return was submitted.
A current version with its actual required audience
Version history and role/named-person sign-off keep the file being read distinct from old attestations or unrelated signers.
Deliberate sharing and follow-up
Audience checks, a separate website-publication workflow and connected tasks preserve who must act without treating a task as external filing.
Questions about Policies & Returns
Can policies retain their current file version and required signatures?
Yes. The register connects policies to versioned documents and required staff signatures, keeping the policy owner and review date visible.
Can we give policy reviews and return preparation owned tasks?
Yes. Use connected tasks for the next review or return preparation. Publishing a policy to the website remains a separate decision.
