training
Training and previous experience records are maintained by Human Resources and we maintain a training matrix to ensure staff have the experience commensurate with their responsibilities. We ask our staff to carry out only those tasks for which they are trained and competent.
Training may include formal courses, distance learning, secondment, workshops, etc. Records carried out by staff are added to the personnel database. Where staff have received sufficient training but lack experience, they are closely supervised while gaining the appropriate experience.
