- Embedding employability skills, British values, equality and diversity, safeguarding, and health and safety into all training and workshop activities.
- Taking proactive accountability for safeguarding and ensuring the health and safety of apprentices at all times.
- Maintaining technical resources, tools, and equipment, keeping them ** compliant, safe, and fully functional**.
