Paperless Governance Operating Layer
Policy connected to process, record, evidence and approval.
SCF uses shared controls where the same institutional process serves several policies. This prevents duplicate SOPs and competing registers while preserving the distinct authority and evidence requirements of each policy.
Policy → SOP → Form / Register → Evidence → Review → Digital Approval → Active Record → Archive
Implemented control families
Controlled status: these SOPs are implementation drafts. Formal activation requires the applicable owner, specialist review and authorised approval. Restricted operational records are maintained in the authenticated governance backend rather than the public website.
Digital record standard
The restricted backend now supports record code, control code, record type, status, access level, subject/programme reference, owner, reviewer, due date, closure, evidence references, structured record data and links to other governance records. This permits one record to support several policy controls without copying the underlying information.
One authoritative record → multiple controlled references → one evidence trail
