Get To Know Us
LIGHTN is the new home of SchoolDocs and GPDocs, now joined by ECEDocs under one brand.
For years, SchoolDocs and GPDocs have supported New Zealand organisations with policy management that saves time. By bringing these services together as LIGHTN, policy leaders across education, health and now early childhood education have a single, specialist partner for managing policy governance.
Our focus is to support boards, principals, centre managers, practice managers, and governance teams who carry the responsibility for getting policies right – and for what happens when they’re not.

Policy leaders often feel stuck between poor choices:
AI-generated policies
Fast but unproven, with a high risk of errors, gaps, or misalignment with New Zealand law and sector expectations.
DIY policies
Fully tailored, but time-intensive, heavily reliant on in-house expertise, and vulnerable when key staff leave.
Off-the-shelf templates
Helpful starting points, but they don’t quality check your final policies or keep your specific set of policies up to date.
Why Choose
Not just templates
Proven in practice
Continuously maintained
Supported by experts
LIGHTN delivers policy content that is written, tested, and refined in real New Zealand organisations, not generic documents you have to rework alone.
Our policies are already in use across thousands of organisations in Aotearoa New Zealand, giving you confidence they’ll work in your context.
We monitor changes in law, regulation, and sector practices, and update your policy set for you. You don’t have to watch every consultation, circular, or requirement change.
When you need to discuss a specific scenario, concern, or risk, you can talk to our team – not an FAQ or chatbot.
Our commitment to safety and quality
Compliance and safety are at the heart of policy management. LIGHTN works with legal and industry experts, cultivates relationships with regulatory bodies and is actively working towards the Safer For Schools certification.
Your organisation will benefit from reassurance that your policy management partner meets robust quality standards.
