33.1 Cabinet considered the report of the head of corporate development.  A review of human resources policies had been taking place over the last 12 months.  The majority of proposed changes were around the style, format and length of the documents, with a view to making them more practical and user friendly. Changes had also been made to reflect statutory (legislative) amendments.  Appendix 1 to the report summarised the more significant changes to policies in respect of disciplinary action, attendance management, drugs and alcohol in the workplace and capability procedure. Copies of the updated policies were appended to the report.
