Training organised centrally based on user
requirements, delivered at strategic locations
around the country, and open to all
catchment partnerships
We would prefer to organise our own
training, but would like to offer this to other
catchment partnerships too.
We will do our own internal training
We really don’t need training

I am clear on my role, and the role of
others, and ready to start / continue
our catchment partnership
I am clear on my role, but confused
as to others roles, but apart from
that ready to start / continue
I am clear on my role but have some
preparation to do before I am ready
to start
I am clear on my role now, but this is
different to what I thought it was
I am not clear on my role
Let me out of here
