Mentoring & Coaching

The role of the elected member is a complex and challenging one. All members, from the newly elected to the more senior and experienced, need support and development in reacting to new or personally challenging situations. Mentoring is another opportunity that members have for development which can meet these needs.

Members have traditionally made informal mentoring arrangements amongst themselves, sometimes with the support of officers or political groups in facilitating this. If you need support in finding a Mentor, please contact Democratic Services Unit and they'll be able to help.
