Fields to include
The form should identify the policy, the version, the staff member and the date of acknowledgement.
It should also make the acknowledgement statement clear enough that staff know what they are confirming.
- Policy title and version
- Staff name, role or department
- Acknowledgement statement
- Date read
- Staff confirmation
- Manager or reviewer where required
Moving the process into SkillProof
SkillProof stores controlled policy documents and lets teams link policies into Activities for read confirmations, declarations, checklists or assessments.
That keeps policy acknowledgement evidence close to staff training records, evidence and audit packs.
