Module Indicative Content
This module explores the key theoretical perspectives which inform and underpin the practice of mentoring. We consider the distinctions between mentoring and other helping professions including performance coaching and counselling. Through a series of structured exercises and case study
materials we develop a critical understanding of the core skills and competencies necessary to the mentoring role. We explore the application of mentoring skills in various settings and consider the role of reflection in developing professional competence in the field. Issues to be considered include the mentor/mentee relationship, effective communication, contracting and time management, ethical issues and confidentiality, evaluation and review of the mentoring outcomes.
