Sarah,
I've only time at present to say that, in my experience here at
Southampton, the answer to most of your questions is
"yes".

Thanks, Keith. I will follow up the contact here. I am
hoping to find out how structured mentoring schemes are in HE whether they are
formal or informal.
Is there a structure to mentoring sessions?
If so does it emulate a model often recommended in ITT - start positively,
then cover problems and end positively? How far does it meet (or attempt to
meet) the needs of the individual academic?
Does it have a pattern of
review from the recent past, a consideration of present activity in relation
to discussion and or goals set previously then target setting? Is it
more akin to coaching (i.e. specific skill areas to hone) or holistic
mentoring?
Best wishes,
Sarah

to
that described in your paper (the one you circulated recently).
In
terms of resources, I'm not sure of publicly-available material, but
I
know that there are staff development sessions here on the HE
mentoring
process that's in place. You might need to contact the HR dept
here if
you'd like further info.
