A [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Policy '''Policy'''] may be described as a set of guidelines that provide a framework for achieving a purpose or goal. Policies should be short, written in simple language and represent the consensus view of all affected by them. To achieve this, separate '''Policies''' might be produced, each covering a particular aspect of working practice. These can be cross-referenced and any requirement for factual data or detailed explanations ''(e.g. exam syllabus requirements)'' can be held in linked '''Appendices''' and need not interfere with an initial comprehension of the main points of the '''Policy'''. Evaluation and review of '''Policies''' should take place on a regular basis.

Policies relating to Design and Technology could usefully adopt a procedure as follows:
* '''Identify the Need'''
- the requirement for a '''Policy''' may arise from: the need to ensure some consistency in practice ''(e.g. authorisation to use '''[[:Category:Machine Tools|Machine Tools]]''')''; the need for a local interpretation of a '''National Policy''' ''(e.g. National Curriculum requirements)''; the emergence of a new aspect of '''[[Design and Technology]]''' ''(e.g. impact of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_prototyping '''Rapid Prototyping'''] on project work)''; or the induction of new or temporary staff for example.
* '''Policy Formulation'''
- this might be initiated by an individual or a small team and informed by any relevant existing '''Policies''' or related examples of good practice.
* '''Consultation'''
- this is an essential part of the process and all who will be affected by the '''Policy''' should have the opportunity to make comment and make suggestions with the aim being that all understand the need and, as far as possible, agree with the strategies described.
* '''Implementation'''
- a procedure is needed ''(e.g signing a register)'' to ensure all who need to have read and understood the policy and know where the document is stored and individual responsibilities made clear.
* '''Evaluation'''
- there should be provision on the '''Policy''' document for individuals to add comments during the course of a working cycle with the aim of taking these into account at the time of renewal.

A useful structure is to regard policy writing as the process on asking Why?, What? and How? . . . . and perhaps Who? if not everyone.
