1A Clarify own role in implementing individualised plan

Implementing a plan requires following its instructions carefully. You must always be aware of your own role within a plan and follow the information included in it. In order to provide a quality service to individuals, and to be accountable and professional, a support worker must be aware of their personal and professional limitations and seek support when required.

A plan might include instructions directed at other professionals, such as managers and allied health professionals. There may be information or instructions included that are outside of your job role or training. The first step in following a plan is to seek clarification to ensure that you are working within your job role, experience and training.
