Investigating incidents and root cause analysis

This self-assessment helps you reflect on your confidence in investigating incidents and using root cause analysis in your role. It supports learning, supervision and development. It does not prove competence and does not replace formal training, supervision, employer checks, professional judgement or local policy. Because incident investigation can involve safety, safeguarding, duty of candour, regulation and learning culture, any score of 1 or 2 should be treated as a priority learning need. Follow your employer policy and speak with your manager, supervisor, safeguarding lead or designated senior person before carrying out related tasks independently.
