Created a new section for the timing of the policy, which combines information about timing previously in the top and bottom sections of the policy.
Combined the "Sunsafe behaviour" and "School activities/actions" sections into one section called "Sunsafe practices".
Made more of the bullet points tailorable, so schools can specify what they allow.
Updated the board responsibility bullet points and the Resources section.
We're grateful for the input from the Cancer Society who also reviewed the policy.
