You will be expected and supported to use generative AI tools where they can improve processes, communication and the use of information, while applying your own professional judgement and expertise. You will remain responsible for the quality and accuracy of your work, including reviewing AI-generated content carefully and using it as a helpful starting point rather than relying on it without review.
