The Wise Group launches new Relational Mentoring report in the House of Commons

Social Enterprise The Wise Group has launched a new Relational Mentoring report at a major event in the House of Commons, hosted by Shadow Minister Chi Onwurah MP and attended by dozens of cross-party MPs including Chair of the Work and Pensions Select Committee Rt Hon Sir Stephen Timms, Employment Minister Jo Churchill, SNP Shadow Spokespersons.

The newest report, ‘A Way to Work: Relational Mentoring and the Future of Employability’ was launched with Wise Group Colleagues, some of whom had the opportunity to talk about their own experiences mentoring individuals, in a panel discussion with Crossbench Peer and former Advisor to Gordon Brown John Woodcock. Mentors talked about their own experiences, identifying key areas where people need support with the most.

Many Wise Group mentors have lived experiences of the same issues they are helping others overcome, and provided an eye-opening view of the impact familiarity in mentoring can have.

The event was attended by dozens of cross-party MPs, and hosted by Chi Onwurah, Labour’s Shadow Minister for Science, Innovation and Technology. Other attendees included Employment Minister Jo Churchill, Chair of the Work and Pensions Select Committee Rt Hon Sir Stephen Timms, Minister for Scotland John Lamont, SNP Home Affairs Spokesperson and more.
