Quick start for staff

Sign in, find what you have been asked to read, read it and confirm. About five minutes.

For: Staff · About 3 minutes to read · Checked 14 Nov 2026

This takes about five minutes. You need your work email address.

Who can do this: Everyone who signs in.

1. Sign in #

  1. Open the address you were given for Policy Core.
  2. Type your work email address under Get a sign-in link and press Email me a link. If you have set a password, type it in the first box instead.
  3. Open the email and press Sign in. A page opens with one more button, also called Sign in. Press that too.

You should see: your home page, headed "Policies for you".

The link works once and lasts 15 minutes. If it does not arrive, see Signing in and out.

2. Find what you have been asked to read #

Your home page lists every policy you have to read. The label To read means you have not read it yet; Read with a date means you have.

The staff home page: a banner saying one policy is to be read, and a table of policies with Read or To read labels. (opens a larger view)

3. Read it and confirm #

  1. Press the title of a policy marked To read.
  2. Read it. Each part has a number, so you can say exactly which part you mean. Forms and appendices are listed at the end.
  3. At the bottom, answer any questions (not every policy has them).
  4. Tick I have read and understood this policy and press Confirm.

You should see: "You have read this" with the date and time, and the policy now says Read on your home page.
