Work within the limits of your knowledge and skills

As a student you should:

  • make sure that you are appropriately supervised for any task that you are asked to carry out. 
  • ask for help when you need it. 
  • be aware of any restrictions which apply to you in carrying out certain tasks and follow any relevant policies of your education provider or practice placement provider. 
  • recognise that opportunities for carrying out any unsupervised tasks will vary during your programme and may depend upon your knowledge, understanding, skills and experience. 
  • only carry out an unsupervised task if you feel that you have the appropriate knowledge, skills and experience to do so safely and effectively. 
  • take responsibility for your own learning. 
  • be aware of and follow any guidance issued by your education provider or practice placement provider for working with service users and carers. 
  • seek, listen to, think about and respond proactively to feedback you are given.
