Peer mentoring programme

Sometimes, its useful to meet and have a peer group in similar circumstances, with similar experiences and day to day worries who can share what is and isn't working for them.  We offer small peer group mentoring for specific priority areas with two/three mentors supporting the group. 
 
They are
  • LGBTQ+
  • Physical and Mental Health
  • Returners to Academia
 
Peer groups agree how they would like to operate and communicate between themselves but all will offer a series of webinars and online meeting opportunities. 

These groups are intended to offer a safe space,  we therefore ask everyone to treat the group and anything that is discussed within the group as confidential, please do read our safeguarding policy and the code of conduct for our mentoring schemes.
1.Which group would you like to join(Required.)
2.Your name?(Required.)
3.Your email address?(Required.)
4.The first webinar you take part in will explain the programme, our safeguarding policies and codes of conduct.  We'll also try to identify the priority areas the peer group would like to focus on through the mentoring process.  Please do tell us a little about why you have applied to this group and what you would hope to get from it. 

You do not need to share anything you feel uncomfortable about sharing.
