Employer Details
In view of the fact that mentoring is likely to take place during normal offices hours, IoF SW believes it is important to each mentoring relationship (and the programme as a whole) that each participant's employer commits to supporting your mentoring relationship. Wewould therefore like to contact your employer to ensure they are willing and committed to allowing you to attend the relevant sessions and then spend 4 hours of work time/month on the mentoring relationship.
Do you have the support of your employer to participate in the mentoring scheme, and if so, may we contact them?
Please select the box which applies to you:
Yes
No
Not applicable - I am self-employed or am Chief-Executive/Director of my organisation and do not report to a Board of Trustees.
If you answered 'Yes' to us contacting your employer, please write down the name and contact details of the person that has the authority to ensure that you are able to spend 4 hours of work time/month on mentoring. This is likely to be your line manager or Chief Executive.
