Your policy

A policy is only enforceable if people have seen it

Hamilton Group puts the controls behind the words — device management that actually enrols personal phones, web filtering that works off the office network, and a record that every member of staff accepted the policy. Book a free review.

A starting-point template based on general UK good practice and ICO guidance on employment practices. It is not legal or employment advice. Monitoring, personal device use and anything that could lead to disciplinary action carry real legal risk — have this reviewed by your HR adviser or employment solicitor, issue it properly, and keep a record that each member of staff received and accepted it. A policy nobody was shown is very difficult to rely on.
