Sometimes, its useful to meet and have a peer group in similar circumstances, with similar experiences and day to day worries who can share what is and isn't working for them.  We offer small peer group mentoring for specific priority areas with two/three mentors supporting the group. 
 
They are
  • LGBTQ+
  • Physical and Mental Health
  • Returners to Academia
 
Peer groups agree how they would like to operate and communicate between themselves but all will offer a series of webinars and online meeting opportunities. 

These groups are intended to offer a safe space,  we therefore ask everyone to treat the group and anything that is discussed within the group as confidential, please do read our safeguarding policy and the code of conduct for our mentoring schemes.
