First Year Peer Support in Education/CE/LLL
ESCalate (The Education Subject Centre for the Higher Education Academy) is undertaking a research project to explore first year undergraduate student peer support and/or mentoring within Education, Continuing Education and Lifelong Learning departments in UK Higher Education. The project seeks to scope or "landscape" the use of peer support and mentoring, with a view to identifying potential benefits, barriers and effective practice to inform future developments in this area.
As part of this research ESCalate would like to elicit information directly from practitioners on their experiences of, and views on, peer support and/or mentoring. They would be grateful for your assistance in contributing to this project by completing one of the following two short surveys below.
If you HAVE had involvement with, or experience of, peer support and/or mentoring for first year students, please complete the survey at https://www.heacademy.ac.uk/survey/peersupport
If you HAVE NOT had any involvement with, or experience of, peer support or mentoring for first year students please complete the survey at https://www.heacademy.ac.uk/survey/nopeersupport
The survey can be completed anonymously; however anyone providing their contact details will be entered into a random prize draw for £100 in book tokens. All responses are treated in the strictest confidence.
