Our Community
We pair you with mentors or mentees whose interests and experience align with your goals. You agree together how often to meet, how long to work together and what to focus on.

Many mentors tell us they get as much from the conversations as their mentees do.
You bring the questions. Your mentor brings a sounding board, challenge and encouragement.
Many members choose to do both, giving and receiving support at the same time.
We partner with Tandemo to make matching and managing mentoring relationships simple and effective for our members.
Head to your member dashboard and follow the mentoring link.
Select “Mentor”, “Mentee”, or both, and say what you want to give or gain.
You’re paired with people whose interests and experience align with your goals.
Agree together how often to meet, how long to work together and what to focus on.
All mentoring conversations are confidential, and relationships are built on mutual respect, curiosity and professional generosity.
The mentoring scheme is open to Learning Network members and Industry Partners. It’s for you if you are:
New to the learning profession and looking for guidance.
An experienced practitioner wanting to stretch your thinking or plan your next step.
A leader or specialist keen to share your experience and help others thrive.
You don’t need “mentor” in your job title to make a difference. You just need a willingness to listen, reflect and support another practitioner.
Our mentors and mentees regularly share how valuable it is to have protected time to think aloud, test ideas and be encouraged by someone who understands their context.
Membership gives you access to the mentoring programme and our wider community straight away.
