Hi there
Give two reasons why the policy needs to be reviewed regularly?

1. The regularly reviewing of policies which more consistent and effective, and they help protect everyone not risk or harm.

This is my teacher comment. Please complete – can you clarify your answer here? Why does the policy need to be reviewed? I believe you are focusing on staff reading and understanding the policy not the review process.

2. Reviewed to meet any updated policy from emergency services. yes

Please can you help with the answer 1 I did try a lot but still not correct.
