Abstract
Reports a survey of 30 UK mentoring scheme organizers by questionnaire, concerning how long schemes had been established, mentor roles, reasons for schemes being introduced, how mentors are selected, how mentors and prot\?\g\?\s are matched, and about various aspects of other formal features of the schemes, including confidentiality, mentor development, rewards for mentors, mentor training, fixed periods for mentoring, the use of learning contracts, seniority of managers, mentor/prot\?\g\?\ ratios, the evaluation of mentors and schemes, organizational benefits, strengths and weaknesses of schemes and mentoring policies. Proposes a new agenda for those involved in such schemes and for further research.
