Mentoring Meeting Report

Mentors must submit a report after every mentoring meeting. We use these reports to ensure we’re offering you and your mentee the best support possible. Mentoring meeting reports help us to track engagement and evaluate the mentoring programme. 

Your mentee doesn't see your mentoring meeting report, we would encourage you to be open and honest, making us aware of any challenges you may be experiencing. Mentoring officers aim to reply to every report within two weeks of hearing from you.


Connection Request

Tap into our Network of over 10,000 creative & cultural professionals from across the UK! Mentors can make a request for support from someone from our Network who may be able to help your mentee in an area you’re less confident in.
 

Work Experience Proposal

It's amazing when mentors are able to offer work experience opportunities for their mentees. Work experience should help to increase knowledge, experience and understanding of the creative and cultural industries and this could be anything from a workplace visit, shadowing, insight weeks to a paid placement. 

We just need you to read through this guidance to ensure the experience is safe and appropriate.

Mentoring Meeting Report
You are reporting to your mentoring officer. Your mentee doesn't see your reports.






Ratings reflect the overall mentoring meeting and are not a judgement of your mentee. Here is a guide to help you rate your mentoring meeting:

Excellent: The meeting had a clear purpose and was focused on the mentee’s goals and the creative and cultural industries. You feel that your mentee has definitely gained increased connections, knowledge, or a sense of empowerment.

Good: The meeting was purposeful and supportive, with relevant discussion of goals and the creative and cultural industries. Some useful insights or guidance was shared, with some progress or reflection. You feel that your mentee will have gained something from the meeting.

Fair: The meeting had some positives, but lacked focus or depth, with minimal discussion of goals or the creative and cultural industries. You’re not sure if the mentee will have gained something from the meeting but there were no serious issues.

Poor: The meeting lacked structure or relevance to the mentee’s goals or the creative and cultural industries. There was little productive discussion. The meeting may have been cut short, or didn’t take place.

About Connection Requests

Arts Emergency has an amazing network of thousands of creative and cultural professionals who’ve all come forward to support our mission and the young people we work with. We're also connected to over 1,800 young creatives. Let us know who you want to speak to and we’ll try and identify a suitable person.

Meeting arrangements  
If someone agrees to support you, we will share their contact details with you, and you can then arrange the date and time of the meeting. This will likely be online, but you're welcome to meet in person if it's feasible. You should be present during the meeting to support your mentee.

After the connection
After you and your mentee have met with your connection, please fill out a mentor report to let us know how it went!
Who would you like to be connected with?


Requests usually take around a month to organise. If your request is time sensitive please give us a bit more info?

About Work Experience
We love it when mentors are able to arrange work experiences for their mentees! This could be workplace visits, shadowing opportunities, an insight week, or a paid placement.

Here is how we define these:
 • Visits - the young person is given a tour of a workplace and talks to colleagues
 • Shadowing - the young person observes different workplace tasks over the course of a day or two
 • Insight week - the young person is given hands-on work experience over several days
 • Paid placement - any work engagement over five working days

We have created a  Code of Conduct for organisations which outlines the behaviours Arts Emergency expects from all organisations we work with. These guidelines are to help your organisation treat young people fairly, with the respect and care they deserve. Before continuing, please read through the linked document.

Arts Emergency has a duty to ensure any activities that are being arranged are safe and ethical, and so we ask you to fill out the details below. Ideally this is done one month before the experience.


Considerations
For unpaid work experiences, we recommend allocating £15 a day for lunch and travel expenses for each young person. Mentees can be reimbursed for their travel costs to work experiences via Arts Emergency. However, we would hope that organisations could cover this cost if possible, and also consider providing lunch expenses for the young person.

The Experience

If known in advance, please select the start and end date of this placement.


Documentation
We advise that every work experience has a formal risk assessment to explore all the risk factors at play in your workplace. When working with under 18s, there should be clear procedures to ensure their safety and wellbeing. You can download a risk assessment template from us here and read our safeguarding policies here.

Organisations should have Liability Insurance to cover compensation in case of any injuries or illnesses as a result of activities undertaken during this work experience. As a rule, where 'work' in any form is being undertaken, organisations should have Employers Liability Insurance, whereas in the case of visits or shadowing, organisations may be covered by Public Liability Insurance instead as there is no 'work' occurring.
