The issue that this raises for me is one of professionalism. Absolutely no offence meant and no criticism intended of the indiviudal concerened, but regardless of what may be common practice, surely it cannot be right to send someone out on their own (for any task) unless they are competent and confident that they are able to do it? Obviously everyone has to start somewhere, there is always a first time, but the first couple of times should be with supervision in order to explain the procedural matters that have been questioned and to get the person gping, so to speak, and to ensure that they do know what they are doing. To do otherwise rather smacks of non complaince with Codes and Standards....
