Mentorship update session2012

Mentorship updatesAttendance at an ODP-specific HEI update is an essential element of the

cycle of mentor development, because it ensures that the mentor remains current with student-related policies and assessment processes.

The update is also an opportunity for the mentor to clarify any issues and develop a link with the HEI. CODP recognises that this may take a

variety of forms; for example,• formal updates,• informal updates (which may occur in the working environment) or

online updates.(CODP, 2009)
