<li>To take an evidence-based approach to practice.</li>
<li>Take an active part in your own supervision and development in accordance with the departmental supervision policy and council's achievement and development policy.</li>
<li>Take responsibility for your own learning, including mandatory and recommended training.</li>
<li>To lead on specific areas of work as required.</li>
</ul>
