When establishing a mentoring relationship or agreement
it is important to discuss and explore how the individuals involved
anticipate the relationship will work. This can help to prevent situations
where participants feel their expectations are not being met. The
areas to be considered when establishing a mentoring relationship
and agreement are outlined in a sample mentoring agreement included
in appendix 2.
It is also important for those involved in a mentoring relationship
to agree to regularly review the relationship that has been developed
and progress made in addressing their goals and expectations.
