Departmental Peer Mentor Coordinators

A Peer Mentor Coordinator is a staff member responsible for overseeing peer mentoring arrangements within your department, school or centre. Each scheme operates slightly differently and so you will hear from your peer mentor co-ordinator about:

• how mentors are allocated to mentees
• rules about whether to meet individually, in pairs or small groups
• what you need to do if you or your mentee want to swap
• how many times you are expected to meet with or contact your mentee(s) throughout the year
• how you are expected to make contact with your mentee(s)
• 'Who's Who' in your peer mentor scheme and/or departmental support arrangements
• what requirements there might be for record keeping
• confidentiality policy and practice within your scheme

If your department, school or centre is not currently involved in the scheme and would like to join it, please email studentexperience@essex.ac.uk
