Policies and statements
Find all policies and formal statements from the University of Bradford and learn about how the University approaches governance of policies through our policy framework.
Polices set out the University rules, conduct or standards governing an area. You can also find out about Ordinances and Regulations.
About our Policy Framework
The University’s Policy Framework provides a consistent approach to the management of the University’s policies and regulations. It lays out:
- when a policy is required and what should go in a policy
- who should be consulted
- where a policy should be approved and how a policy should be communicated after approval
The Policy Framework is accompanied by a Policy Template 2023 (Word, 56.7 KB) which should be used as the basis for all University Policies and Regulations, Procedures etc.
For advice on Policy development or in using the Policy Framework or templates, please contact the Risk and Information Governance Team.
