Accept personal responsibility (3,2)

I believe the answer is:

own up

(Other definitions for own up that I've seen before include "Confess, admit guilt (3.2)" , "Come clean (about wrongdoing)" , "be honest" , "Confess, acknowledge fault" , "Accept responsibility" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
