Peer Mentoring
• Peer – ‘a person of equal standing within a group’
• Mentor – An experienced trusted advisor or guide.
• A relationship of mutual regard• Role model and guide to support the mentee
to achieve their potential.
• Mentors are: "many things - a positive role model, an adviser, an experienced friend. Somebody from outside a person's immediate circle taking a special interest can make an enormous difference.“
• Mentoring is a one-to-one, non-judgemental relationship in which an individual voluntarily gives time to support and encourage another. This is typically developed at a time of transition in the mentee's life, and lasts for a significant and sustained period of time."
