Mentor code of conduct guidelines
- The relationship between mentor and mentee should not be exploitative in any way, nor open to misinterpretation.
- Mentors are responsible for setting and keeping appropriate boundaries that govern interactions with mentees.
- Mentors should maintain a clear mentoring relationship with mentees and not allow personal bias to influence their actions.
- Mentors should maintain confidentiality, objectivity and equal partnership.
- The mentor’s role is to respond to the mentee’s needs and agenda rather than imposing their own agenda.
- Mentors will share the responsibility for creating a smooth end to the relationship with the mentee, once it has achieved its purpose.
- Any personal data relating to the mentee held by the mentor should be deleted as soon as it is no longer needed.
