Which document outlines the authority to create and amend SWLCAT policies?

The SWLCAT Governance Framework is the document that explicitly outlines the authority to create and amend SWLCAT policies. This framework establishes the structure and principles guiding governance, including roles, responsibilities, and decision-making processes. By defining who has the authority to establish and modify policies, it ensures that all changes are conducted in a systematic and authorized manner, maintaining the integrity of the policy-making process.

Additionally, while the Policy Manual provides detailed information about existing policies and procedures, it does not itself confer authority for creating or amending policies. The Operational Guidelines may offer instructions on executing policies and procedures but do not establish governance authority. The Compliance Report typically assesses adherence to established policies rather than delineating authority for policy changes. Thus, the Governance Framework is central to understanding how policies are formed and modified within SWLCAT.
