What “Version: {date}” means on policies

Summary

Each policy card shows a Version: {DATE} label. When your church updates a policy, the version date helps distinguish the new policy from an older version you may have signed previously.

Who this is for

Volunteer

What you’ll need

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • A Volunteer account in Safe Pathways

  • Access to the Home page in your Volunteer dashboard

  • At least one policy card showing under Your policy acknowledgement

Before you start

Safe Pathways displays a Version: {DATE} label on each policy card.

This version date helps identify which version of the policy you are being asked to acknowledge.

If your church updates a policy, the version date helps confirm whether you signed the current version or an older one.

Steps to understand policy version dates

1. Open the Home page

In the left-side menu, click Home.

2. Scroll to Your policy acknowledgement

On the Home page, scroll to the Your policy acknowledgement section.

3. Find the version label on the policy card

On the policy card, locate the line that shows Version: {DATE}.

4. Use the version date to identify the policy

If your church asks which version of the policy you signed, share the exact Version: {DATE} shown on the policy card.

5. Sign a newer version if one appears

If your church publishes an updated policy version, open the policy and complete the acknowledgement for the newer version.

What happens next

If a policy shows that it has not been signed, open the policy and complete the acknowledgement.

If you already signed a policy but a newer version appears, you may need to review and sign the updated version as well.

Troubleshooting

I do not see a Version line
    • Refresh the page and check the policy card again.
    • If the version still does not appear, contact your church administrator for help confirming which policy version you need.
My church says I have not signed the policy

    • Confirm that you are looking at the correct policy name.

    • Check the exact Version: {DATE} shown on the policy card.

    • If needed, reopen the policy and confirm whether the current version still requires acknowledgement.

Notes

  • Version: {DATE} identifies which version of a church policy you are acknowledging

  • The version date helps distinguish updated policies from older versions

  • If a new version appears, you may need to sign the updated policy even if you signed an earlier one
