Core Document
Core Document
The core document consists of the four themes and specific research competencies to be completed and how to complete and achieve your essential levels of performance.

Evidence Forms
Evidence Forms
Use the Witness Statement or Testimony Evidence Forms to document any supported evidence from other colleagues, managers and peers and the Reflective Account Forms to help you record achievement of competencies.
Mentees should collate evidence on an ongoing basis and notify their mentor when they that they have sufficient evidence to demonstrate competence at the pre-agreed level (and within agreed time limits).
The Competency Framework can be adapted to all research posts. Mentors can customise the framework, as not all themes will be always be applicable, using the Blank Competency Forms and assessments summaries,
