StAMP Handbook

What needs to be added?

-          A cover page (possibility)

-          Colour

What needs to be removed?

-          Possibly page 1 with Stuart’s quote.

-          Page 27

-          Do we really need the SMART and STAR techniques?

What needs to be changed?

-          The layout of the pages, make everything look neat and tidy

-          Combine some of the sections and shorten them. E.g. do’s and don’ts with planning a mentoring sessions.

-          include a clear list with responsibilities that every mentor needs to undertake

-          We need to make it relevant for all the different types of mentoring projects, some people say they did not use it because the tips were not to do with anything they did.

-          The frequently asked questions. Look at what questions mentors asked last year and include them instead of outdated/irrelevant questions.

-          The benefits page needs to be changed. Use bullet Points instead of paragraphs.

Possible inclusions:

-          Templates for different kinds of sessions
