Relieved from anxiety, being given a new policy? (9)

I believe the answer is:

reassured

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'relieved from anxiety' is the definition.

'being given a new policy?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'being' could be 'ass' (ass is a kind of being) and 'ass' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reassured that I've seen before include "Freed from anxiety" , "Confirmed" , "Relieved of anxiety" , "Comforted" , "confident" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
