Use science based practices
Delegating responsibility to someone else doesn't absolve you - you are still responsible for what they do
Training is always on-going - practice within the boundaries of your competence and get training if you don't know much about an area that you will be working in
In emergencies you can provide services until a) the emergency is over and/or b) a more competent individual is available to serve |
