The skills framework should not be used by, copied or shared with people who have not been trained to use the 5-Step Method – an exception would be the person who is supervising or managing your work if they are not themselves a 5-Step Method practitioner.
There are variations to the skills framework for some of the different versions of the 5-Step Method that are available – you will have been given the correct one for whichever version[s] of the intervention you are using. These different versions of the skills framework will be added to the website in due course.
