How to Approve and Release Policies

Policies begin in an Approval state within your platform.  When a policy is approved, it is automatically released to all relevant users.   There is no separate “Release” step required for most organisations.  For organisations with automatic release enabled, policies move to “Released” status automatically once approved.

Accessing Policies That Need Approval

1. Log in to the Boost platform.
2. Navigate to Review in the left-hand menu.
3. You will see a list of policies requiring approval.
4. Each policy listed here needs to be opened and reviewed individually.

Reviewing and Approving a Policy

1. Click on a policy title from the Review list to open it.
2. Wait for the policy content to fully load.
3. Review the policy to ensure it meets compliance and quality standards.
   • In the future, you will be able to compare the latest version to previous ones to see what has changed.
4. If you are satisfied, click the Approve button (usually at the bottom corner of the screen).
5. Once approved, the policy status changes to Released and it becomes visible to all users.

Note: There is no “Approve All” button — each policy must be approved individually to ensure proper review.  This is intentional, as the responsibility for policy accuracy and compliance lies with the home or organisation, not Boost.

Policies That Show “Needs Release”

• For organisations with automatic release enabled, you do not need to manually release these policies.
• The system will automatically handle the release once the policy has been approved.
• Only focus on the policies listed under Review.
