1. Mentoring

   Hi Beatrice

   By Shadowing I am guessing you mean Mentoring. I can’t give you our policy but just type mentoring guidelines in to your search engine and there are many sites you could look at to help you write your own guidelines.

   Good luck

2. agreement

   Hi Beatrice

   When I ran a shadowing scheme we worked out a clear agreement; it covered;

   1. What does the shadow want to get out of this? (this includes the organisational "want" for the shadow)

   2. What does the "caster" get out of this?

   3. How long will it last?

   4. Confidentiality (both ways)

   5. Limits of activity (is the shadow just an observer? or can they be involved in activity as well; if so, what?)

   6. Evaluation; how and when will we report on the achievement of the objectives (1&2 above) and what "side effects" (positve and negative) have resulted

   7. Sharing; can the shadow share their learning with their usual team members/colleagues after the shadowing.

   Setting these parameters at the outset really made it work for us.

   I hope this helps
