Behavioural anchors

LevelBehaviour at this level

works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient Independently assesses retention periods for a case file, arranges findability and carries out destruction demonstrably.

N5 Leading Sets the organisation's information policy and retention schedule and accounts for compliance to the archive inspectorate.

N2 and N4 are deliberately not anchored. Raters place them between the anchors, following the O*NET convention.
