Termination of the mentoring partnership

Should either the mentor or mentee decide it is necessary to terminate the mentoring partnership prior to the agreed conclusion date; the following process will be followed:

1. The partner wishing to terminate the Agreement will inform the other party what specifically isn't working as soon as it is apparent to them.
2. Both partners will then discuss and seek changes that will resolve the issue(s) raised.
3. Agreement will be made in respect to what changes will be implemented to address the concerns raised and a suitable time (mutually decided) will be allowed to trial the altered arrangements.
4. Should no mutually agreeable alternatives be found by the mentor and mentee, they may (if they choose) consult with Human Resources in order to seek a workable solution to the issue(s) raised.
5. If no viable and mutually agreeable alternatives can be reached, the partnership will be ended in a professional and respectful manner by both mentor and mentee. A record of this agreed termination will be signed by both the mentor and mentee.

A written record should be kept of the above mentioned steps as they are carried out, with both the mentor and mentee signing the record and each keeping a copy.
