- Understand the Grow Model
- Start to plan and establish a branch mentoring programme
- An understanding of the steps to get started
- Explore practical ideas to implement it at branch level

Attendees should expect to be introduced and understand an understanding of mentoring, the associated skills needed, with some practical guidance on applying a structured approach to mentoring using the grow model. This will include a reference some model policies and guides and templates to help you get started, using the resources on the padlet.
As a pilot, some discussion activities about what some of the barriers might be, and to action some solutions to help get a branch mentoring established. Please note that there would be a requirement to participate in practice conversations. But there would be an option to observe only.
