The primary purpose of the University of Liverpool Mentoring Network is to provide a whole insitution approach to supporting staff to grow and develop in their role and beyond.
Although the network is managed by The Academy, who promote the network, recruit and develop mentors and mentees, and develop members through training and events and evaluate the value through monitoring success, it's success depends on the contribution from those who put themselves forward to mentor others.
The network enables colleagues to offer mentoring locally where their department has its own scheme or across the University where there is no specified local arrangement. It is also at the discretion of the mentor, in agreement with their line manager, to choose how much time they wish to commit to mentoring.
