Are your school’s essential policy documents scattered across random areas of your site, and out of date? If so, managing your school policies could significantly improve your document organisation.

For HR managers, school administrators, and compliance officers, maintaining a “Single Source of Truth” for policy documents is a constant headache. You upload a PDF, link it on a page, update the PDF, and suddenly the link breaks—or worse, staff are still downloading the outdated version.

Enter the Smart Policies Plugin to assist in managing your school policies efficiently.

A Professional Document Library for WordPress

We built Smart Policies to solve the specific problem of grouping and displaying critical documents without the visual clutter. It’s not just a file list; it’s a document management experience ideal for handling school policies effectively.
