I am particularly delighted to see the interest from staff in the mentoring scheme and to attend the formal launch today.”
Speaking about the launch, Clare said, “We’re pleased with the response – 19 mentee applications and 14 mentor applications. We’ve matched most mentees but have a few outstanding, so we’re looking for further mentors, including Readers and Professors.’
