Core principles

• • Respect: listen actively, avoid discriminatory language, and keep feedback constructive.
• • Confidentiality: keep shared examples private unless you have explicit permission.
• • Safeguarding: flag any unsafe behaviour to the leaders; we will respond quickly.
• • No regulated advice: mentors do not provide regulated advice or sign off reports.
• • No job guarantees: mentoring is not a recruitment pipeline or shortcut.
