Separate a proposal from a rule

When reading a policy statement, check whether it describes current requirements, a consultation or a requested change. Follow any link to the original government material. This helps the team avoid presenting an industry policy position as a rule already in force.

Trace the relevance to your business

Note which part of your operation the issue affects and which member body represents that area. Keep the dated source with the note. This makes it easier to decide whether to act, seek clarification or simply keep the issue under review.
