Understand Own Role and Responsibilities in Lifelong Learning
1.1 Summarise key aspects of legislation, regulatory requirements and codes of practice relating to own role and responsibilities.
To answer this question I thought it best to understand what a role is and what a responsibility is.

The responsibilities that fit into that role would include:
• establish a safe and stimulating environment for pupils, rooted in mutual respect
• set goals that stretch and challenge pupils of all backgrounds, abilities and dispositions
• demonstrate consistently the positive attitudes, values and behaviour which are expected of pupils.

Some of the main codes of conduct that are implemented in my training company include; trainers must:
-Be dressed appropriately (smart, clean, shaven etc)
-Turn up at least 30 minutes before each training session
-have scheme of work & lesson plan present in the classroom and must run lesson as stated or make appropriate changes to lesson plan.
