New Mentor Training     

All new mentors (core and school direct) should be 'new mentor' trained through the University of Worcester regardless of previous training with other providers. This training is available in online modules. Please contact c.rowlands@worc.ac.uk for further information. 

School Briefings 

It is vital that all active professional mentors and subject mentors attend one of our school briefing meetings. To facilitate this we host six repeat sessions on-line over a two-week period in September/early October and January/February annually. There is an additional briefing that will commence phase 3 (summer term) - this will be sent digitally. Please note that school briefings include a subject update. Professional mentors can attend any briefing on any day. Subject mentors must attend on a day when their subject is listed.
