Outcome 1.
1.1 Identify operational objectives within own area of responsibility. My area of responsibilities state in our operational plan is that:-

Ensure that I am offering a variety of learning experiences including locating resources if we haven’t got them. Ensure staff use welsh as much as possibly able to speak.
Ensure all staff have read and signed the confidentiality policy and are bound by it. Also read and signed all other policies on induction day.
