This manual provides both theory and materials for starting a new mentoring scheme or revitalizing an existing one. It shows how to win over decision-makers, recruit mentors and mentees and develop champions for the cause, and how to design, plan, launch and sustain a successful scheme. Access to new ideas and best practice is provided alongside ideas and examples, forms, questions, exercises and other photocopiable materials for the trainer or facilitator. The examples are from many areas including business, the voluntary sector, and higher and secondary education.
