GAVCA Model Policies & Procedures
Formalised policies and procedures can greatly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of an organisation. They can also be a part of meeting legal requirements and standards.
The following sample GAVCA Policies and Procedures are available for download and can be adapted to suit your group's needs. Please note that these policies are offered only as examples, and they may not be appropriate for your organisation's circumstances. It is essential that your Management Committee thoroughly discusses any policies before adopting them.
If you would like support or advice about applying any of these policies and procedures to your own organisation, then contact a member of our Organisational Development Team. You can also see the policies for new or small organisations, as recommended by the Organisational Development Team: these are also shown in the list below in bold.
