It explores the role and responsibilities of mentors and how to prepare for mentoring sessions. Participants explore how their values, beliefs and attitudes might affect their practice; how to give feedback and how to feed forward. We examine case studies and the use of questioning. We also explore mentoring theories and models as well as ethical frameworks. Participants will discuss ways of managing a mentoring relationship, how to reflect on our own practice and how to review and end a mentoring relationship well.
