We deliver this course on a request only basis at the moment (Feb 2018) but there are plans to develop this during this year and next. This is a course aimed at staff of all backgrounds in the field of work to either develop skills to deliver improved mentoring services or as a quality assurance and development opportunity for agencies heavily involved in the delivery of services.
