No absolute promise should be made. The programme should explain limited records and when safety, safeguarding, serious misconduct or another defined concern must be shared through the proper route.
A mentor supports development and reflection but does not normally allocate work, assess formal performance or make employment decisions unless a separate role expressly gives that authority.
Explain limits clearly, especially safeguarding and welfare reporting.
Only through approved channels and boundaries.
Use the referral purpose and learner participation.
Not unless separately qualified and appointed.
Record patterns and follow the attendance or welfare route.
Summarise goals, progress, risks and continuing support.
