Mentor reports

Our mentor reports form is your way to let us know how your mentoring session went, submit a request to connect with someone from our network, or plan some work experience - all in one spot!

To make the process smoother, you can use a bespoke link which you should have been provided with. You can email us at mentoring@arts-emergency.org to be provided with your link again.

Mentoring Session Report

We use these reports to ensure we’re offering you and your mentee the best support possible and we aim to reply to every report within two weeks of hearing from you. These are private reports (your mentee doesn't see them).

Connection Request

Tap into our Network of over 9,000 creative professionals! As mentors, you can submit a ‘Connection Request’ through the mentor report, seeking support from another member of the Network who may be able to help your mentee in an area you’re less confident in.

Work Experience Proposal

It's ah-may-zing when mentors are able to offer work experience opportunities for their mentees - this could be anything from a workplace visit to an internship! We just need you to read through some guidance to ensure the experience is safe and stimulating for your mentee. You can read our FAQs here.

About Connection Requests

Arts Emergency has an amazing network of thousands of creative and cultural professionals who’ve all come forward to support our mission and the young people we work with. Let us know who you want to speak to and we’ll ask the Network! 

Meeting arrangements  
If someone in the Network agrees to support you, we will connect you and you can then arrange the date and time of the meeting. This will likely be online, but you're welcome to meet in person if it's feasible. You should be present during the meeting to support your mentee.

After the connection
After you and your mentee have met with your connection, please fill out a mentor report to let us know how it went!
Who would you like to be connected with?


Requests usually take around a month to organise. If your request is time sensitive please give us a bit more info i.e. is there a particular date you need this by?

About Work Experience
We love it when mentors are able to arrange work experiences for their mentees! This could be workplace visits, shadowing opportunities, an insight week, or a paid placement.

Here is how we define these:

 • Visits - the young person is given a tour of a workplace and talks to colleagues
 • Shadowing - the young person observes different workplace tasks over the course of a day or two
 • Insight week - the young person is given hands-on work experience over several days
 • Paid placement - any work engagement over five working days

We have created a  Code of Conduct for organisations which outlines the behaviours Arts Emergency expects from all organisations we work with. These guidelines are to help your organisation treat young people fairly, with the respect and care they deserve. Before continuing, please read through the linked document.

Arts Emergency has a duty to ensure any activities that are being arranged are safe and ethical, and so we ask you to fill out the details below. Ideally this is done one month before the experience.


Considerations
For unpaid work experiences, we recommend allocating £15 a day for lunch and travel expenses for each young person. Mentees can be reimbursed for their travel costs to work experiences via Arts Emergency. However, we would hope that organisations could cover this cost if possible, and also consider providing lunch expenses for the young person.

Documentation

We advise that every work experience has a formal risk assessment to explore all the risk factors at play in your workplace. When working with under 18s, there should be clear procedures to ensure their safety and wellbeing. You can download a risk assessment template from us here and read our safeguarding policies here.

Organisations should have Liability Insurance to cover compensation in case of any injuries or illnesses as a result of activities undertaken during this work experience. As a rule, where 'work' in any form is being undertaken, organisations should have Employers Liability Insurance, whereas in the case of visits or shadowing, organisations may be covered by Public Liability Insurance instead as there is no 'work' occurring.
