The foundation for mentoring is the relationship between the mentor and mentee. Over time, a supportive and respectful relationship of trust is developed allowing the mentee to explore issues and work on overcoming barriers in a safe environment. The mentor supports the mentee in problem-solving, decision making and testing out new strategies. The mentoring sessions offer opportunities for reflection and constructive feedback to enhance the personal development of the mentee.
Mentors will see you for a regular meeting agreed in advance to support you in overcoming any barriers that are affecting your studies. This could range from helping to organise time, starting assignments, discussing problems or help with exam preparation. Your mentor will support you to enjoy your time at university and make the most of the opportunities available.

Access to Work is a Government-funded scheme to help pay towards Assistive Technology and support in the workplace. More information about Access to Work can be found here.
Some employers choose to fund equipment and support themselves rather than using the Access to Work scheme. If you feel that you need support to do your job to the best of your ability, it is a good idea to have a confidential meeting with your line manager or someone in the People / HR department to find out what your options are.
You are also welcome to contact us for advice on the best way to approach your employer about workplace support.
