Operational alignment. Public wording should match actual practices, systems, forms, and responsibilities.
Legal review. Policies involving employment, privacy, research, accessibility, tax, or regulated activity may require counsel.
Version control. Approved policies should show an effective date and preserve prior versions where appropriate.
Accessible publication. Policies should be readable, searchable, mobile-friendly, and available in alternative formats when needed.
