To Download a policy
All the above policies are pro-forma and ready for PAs to adapt to their own company or personal working structure. It is unlikely a PA will need many of the above but there are times when a new client may ask for sight of a specific policy. . Due to GDPR requirements and to ensure that PAs are in possession of the latest version of a policy we require a PA to request specific down loads by specifying the policy or procedure required. e.g. Section 3 1, 2 and 8
