Organisational documents/ policies (Anonymised) examples

Note: Whilst you would normally name an organisation, remember to anonymise documents from your placement organisation/institution if you have been told to keep it confidential. If a document or policy is related to a trust or is password protected, anonymise it. If it is open access, there is no need to anonymise.
