Mentoring activities and conversations should be conducted at mutually convenient times for both the mentor and mentee. Informal mentor/mentee conversations should be a reasonable length and frequency for both the mentor and mentee. A formal mentoring session should not exceed one hour in duration. We recommend agreeing a set duration and topics/focus of conversation that you need to cover within this allocated time in advance. If a National Trainer cannot continue with their mentoring commitments due to exceptional circumstances, they should first contact the Training Delivery team. 8.7 Instructor- Members-In-Training sign-off deliveries Where an Instructor-Member-In-Training encounters an issue with unexpectedly being unable to co-deliver their scheduled codelivery course during the sign-off period, they must in the first instance contact the Training Delivery team for further guidance on next steps. In some extenuating circumstances, where the co-deliverer is unexpectedly unavailable for the co-delivery, at relatively short notice, with prior approval from MHFA England, it may be possible for the Instructor-Member-In- Training to solo deliver the course if deemed appropriate in that particular instance.
