Translate a Dense Policy Document Into Staff-Ready Guidance
The policy was written to protect the organisation legally, not to help anyone understand what to do, which is why nobody reads it. This takes the document and your audience, then rewrites it into clear, staff-facing guidance that says what people should actually do, without losing what the policy requires.
