When a policy has been through the review process (using comments etc) and the final version is ready then it is good practice to notify Governors that the final approval is needed. Use the SHARE function to send a notification and ask the Governors to use the 'Approval' process.
When all the necessary approvals are in (use the 'Approvals List' to check) then use the following steps to 'finalise the Policy
1. Edit the Policy and set the status to one of the 'Final' options
2. Lock the Approvals (to prevent any more changes)
3. Mark the policy for 'Publish Publicly' if this policy is to be available on the school website
