Documentation

Pick the path that fits where you are.

I don't know if peer mentoring is right for me

Start with the foundations – what peer mentoring is, what the evidence says, and how it differs from coaching or being mentored.

I'm a mentee and I'm looking for the guidance docs

The exercises you do at home, the workshops you join, and how peer meetings work – everything you need across the year.

I'm interested in running a peer-mentoring programme

How we select participants and pair them into peer groups – the criteria, the matching method, and the questionnaire.

All documentation pages are also listed in the sidebar to the left.
