Hi Ian,
I think Randstad can do this, so it might be worth checking with them. They just need to make sure that the mentor is appropriately insured... unless I'm recalling things incorrectly. The argument against is that it's not really facilitating independence, but you the mentor could work towards meeting in other locations.

Subject: possible home-based MHD mentoring support for student in London E4
Hi
I wonder if anyone can help - a student I assessed last year has struggled to make use of mentoring support because the effects of her MHD make it difficult for her to use this support on campus or in a local library/cafe etc. She has asked for a mentor who will work with her at home (hour a week during term-time).
I'm checking with various agencies but I'm aware some are unable or reluctant to provide this type of support at home, so I wondered if anyone might be able to suggest an agency that they think might be able to help?
thanks in advance
