Reporting a breach of conduct
If a serious breach of the Code of
Conduct occurs (i.e. bullying or harassment by a
participant) participants must report the incident to the
Mentoring Program Coordinator in writing with details
of the time and date of the incident. Program managers
will keep a record of the incident and review potential
actions in line with University policies.
Insurance Policy
Enrolled students are covered by the University’s insurance
policies when engaged in approved UNSW activities. This
extends to mentoring meetings, site visits and work-
shadowing off-campus. Please contact the Mentoring
Program Coordinator if you need clarification.
Health and Safety
Mentors should be aware of all relevant health and safety
issues if their mentee visits their workplace. Mentees
should be inducted into safe working procedures during
office or site visits. This does not apply if you are meeting
on campus or in a public place.
Privacy
Participants must handle all Personal Information
(including contact details) received from UNSW in
accordance with the privacy principles that govern the
handling of such information by UNSW, including the
UNSW Privacy Management Plan and the
Privacy Act 1988.
Evaluation
The UNSW Business School strives to continually
improve the Career Mentoring Program for both students
and alumni mentors. A formal evaluation survey is
usually undertaken at the end of the mentoring program.
However, feedback is always welcome and appreciated
throughout the program.
Mentoring Program Coordinator
The Mentoring Program Coordinator
is the main contact and support for mentors.
Mentors should contact the Program
Coordinator as soon as possible if you
experience any of the following:
• If you experience any uncertainty or
discomfort within the mentoring relationship
• If a mentee discloses information which
makes you concerned for their welfare
• If your mentee is unresponsive or is
displaying lack of commitment to the
mentoring relationship
• If you are having difficulty keeping the
mentoring relationship going and need
new ideas or topics to discuss
• If a mentee is becoming overly
dependent on you.
Grievance Procedure
In the first instance, participants
should discuss the issue with the Mentoring
Program Coordinator. Complaints and
grievances will be dealt with according to
UNSW Complaint Management Procedure.
