• Sophie is looking for mentors to take part in some research that will be used to shape the evaluation of RESET. RESET values all our mentors and is looking for volunteers to tell us about their experiences. Here's some more information:

  • Sophie will conduct telephone interviews with three mentors from each of the three boroughs in London and with six RCT  (Rochdale Connexions Trust) mentors in the NW cluster. The mentors will be interviewed three times: around June & July this year; towards the end of the year and towards the end of RESET. 
  • The purpose of the research is to gain feedback from the volunteers on their view of:  The management and organisation of the mentoring provision, what they feel they have learnt/gained from being part of the scheme, what they feel young people have learnt/gained from being part of the scheme and how we might improve.
  • The telephone interviews will last about 20mins and all views will be treated confidentially. However, this will be collated to inform our service provision and the learning that we subsequently disseminate. 
  • All volunteers have been invited to participate with individuals then randomly selected
