<td><p><b><span class="standardmainheading">Workplace Training Plan - Increasing responsibility and accountability</span></b></p>
<p>Within the training process, it is necessary to manage the conflicting requirements between a candidate not being allowed to take responsibility but nevertheless being required to show that he or she can perform work and take responsibility at a professional level. It is helpful to indentify two aspects of responsibility: </p>
<ul>
<li>Taking <em>due care </em>to ensure that the objectives of work are achieved and that impacts and risks are addressed; and </li>
<li>Being <em>accountable </em>for the work, in particular that due care was taken to deal with risks </li>
</ul>
<p>The requirement that the candidate demonstrate that he/she is able to take responsibility for the work performed requires careful management by the direct supervisor. </p>
<p>During development from the graduate level to meeting the competency requirements for registration, the candidate progresses through levels of work capability until the required level for registration is attained. A useful scale of achievement over a candidacy programme is shown in <strong>Table 2</strong>. At each of the five degrees of responsibility, the table shows the nature of the candidate’s work, ranging from being oriented in the working environment at degree A to working at the degree of responsibility required for registration, namely E (Performing). The responsibility that should be placed on the candidate at each stage is in terms of the candidate’s own responsibility and the extent of supervision and mentoring support. </p>

<p>The candidate is involved in activities of adequate variety and increasing demand and responsibility. The candidate would first <em>assist </em>with work, doing defined tasks under close supervision. The candidate progresses to making contributions individually and as a team member to the work. By the end of the training period, the candidate must perform individually and as a team member at the level of competencies required for registration and exhibit degree of responsibility E. </p>
<p>Over time, the emphasis on <strong>training</strong>, that is, learning through inputs of others, gives way to learning by doing work and reflecting on observations and achievements, that is <strong>experience.</strong></p>
