1. Mentoring Agreement
This agreement sets out what mentors and mentees can expect from each other. Both confirm they have read it before their first 1:1 session.
Mentors will:
- Give honest, practical guidance based on their own experience
- Keep everything shared in sessions confidential (see our Confidentiality Policy)
- Arrive on time and prepared, and give at least 24 hours’ notice if they need to cancel
- Declare any conflict of interest (see the Conflict of Interest Policy)
- Stay within their experience, and suggest other support where needed
- Never sell services to, or ask for payment from, a mentee
Mentees will:
- Come to each session with clear goals, challenges or questions
- Arrive on time, and give at least 24 hours’ notice if they need to cancel
- Treat their mentor with respect and value their time
- Take responsibility for their own decisions. Mentoring is guidance, not legal, financial or other professional advice
- Share feedback with All Together after sessions
All Together will:
- Match mentors and mentees based on challenges and experience
- Offer support if any issue comes up in the relationship
- Handle personal information in line with the Data Protection Policy
Ending the relationship
Either side can end the mentoring relationship at any time by telling the other person and All Together. No reason is needed. All Together may end a relationship if any of these policies are breached.
2. Code of Conduct for Mentors
All Volunteer Advisors agree to follow this code whenever they act as a mentor for All Together members.
As a mentor, I will:
- Act with honesty, integrity and professionalism at all times
- Treat every mentee fairly and with respect, regardless of their background or personal characteristics
- Keep all information shared with me confidential, except where the Confidentiality Policy or the mentee allows otherwise
- Declare any conflict of interest as soon as I become aware of it
- Be clear about the limits of my experience, and never present guidance as legal, financial or other regulated advice
- Respect and encourage my mentee’s right to make their own decisions
- Prioritise questioning and thought guidance over explicit instructional advice
- Keep contact professional and use appropriate channels for communication
- Follow the Safeguarding and Data Protection Policies
As a mentor, I will not:
- Use the relationship for personal, commercial or financial gain during the hours of mentoring facilitated by All Together, including selling services or seeking investment opportunities
- Accept gifts or hospitality beyond a token value without telling All Together
- Share a mentee’s information, ideas or business details with anyone else unless expressly requested by the mentee.
- Behave in a way that is bullying, harassing, discriminatory or otherwise inappropriate
- Use my position to pressure a mentee into any decision
If the code is broken
Concerns about a mentor’s conduct should be raised with the Policy Owner at support@alltogether.company. All Together will look into every concern promptly and fairly. Where the code has been broken, a mentor may be asked to step back from the programme.
3. Conflict of Interest Policy
A conflict of interest is any situation where a mentor’s personal, professional or financial interests could affect, or appear to affect, the guidance they give. Having a conflict is not wrong in itself. Failing to declare it is.
Examples:
- The mentor works for, advises or has invested in a competitor, supplier or customer of the mentee’s business
- The mentor could benefit financially from a decision the mentee makes
- The mentor has a close personal or family relationship with the mentee
- The mentor is interested in investing in, working for or doing business with the mentee’s company
Identifying conflicts
- Mentors declare any known interests when they join the programme, and update All Together if these change
- For each connection, All Together shares the mentee’s business name and website so the mentor can check for conflicts
- Mentors and mentees raise any possible conflict as soon as they notice it, even if they are unsure
Managing conflicts
- The mentor tells All Together by emailing support@alltogether.company.
- All Together records the conflict and discusses it with the mentor and, where appropriate, the mentee.
- All Together decides on one of the following:
- No action needed, because the conflict is minor and both sides are comfortable with no legal issues.
- Agreed limits, such as avoiding certain topics
- A new match with a different mentor
- The decision is recorded and reviewed if circumstances change.
If a mentor wants to do paid work with, or invest in, their mentee’s business, they must tell All Together first and this must be led entirely by the mentee after their mentoring hours via All Together have concluded, and not raised by the mentor.
4. Data Protection Policy
All Together CIC collects only the personal information it needs to run the 1:1 mentoring programme, keeps it secure, and handles it in line with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
What we collect:
- Names, contact details and job titles of mentors and mentees
- Information about mentees’ businesses and the support they are looking for
- Mentors’ professional background and areas of experience
- Session dates, matches and feedback
We use this information only to match mentors and mentees, arrange sessions, support the relationship and improve the programme. We never sell it or share it for marketing by others.
How it is stored and protected
- Information is kept in EngageBay, with access limited to the All Together team members who need it
- Accounts are password protected, with two-factor authentication where available
- Personal information is kept for 5 years after someone leaves the programme, then securely deleted
What mentors must do
- Use mentee information only for mentoring
- Keep any notes secure, and never share them
- Delete notes and contact details within 12 months of the mentoring relationship ending, unless both sides agree to stay in touch
Your rights
Anyone can ask to see, correct or delete the information we hold about them by emailing support@alltogether.company. We will respond within one month.
Data breaches
Anyone who thinks personal information has been lost, stolen or shared by mistake must tell the data protection contact straight away. All Together will assess the breach and report it to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) within 72 hours where the law requires.
5. Safeguarding Policy
Everyone in the community has the right to be safe and treated with respect. Anyone with a safeguarding concern must report it to the Designated Safeguarding Lead the same day.
The mentoring programme is for adults. Mentors should not work one-to-one with anyone under 18 through All Together.
What counts as a safeguarding concern
- Someone may be at risk of harm to themselves, including signs of serious distress
- Someone may be experiencing abuse, harassment, exploitation or coercion, including financial abuse
- A mentor, mentee or team member behaves in a way that puts someone at risk
What to do
If someone is in immediate danger, call 999 first, then contact All Together’s safeguarding lead, Augusta Hydleman at gussy@alltogether.company
When someone tells you about a concern
- Listen calmly and take what they say seriously
- Do not promise to keep it secret. Explain that you may need to share it to keep them or others safe
- Do not investigate or confront anyone yourself
- Write down what was said, using their words where possible, with the date and time
How All Together responds
The Designated Safeguarding Lead will review every concern promptly and decide the next steps. These may include offering support, referring to specialist services, contacting the police or, where a mentor is involved, pausing their mentoring while the concern is looked into. Information is shared only with those who need to know.
Useful contacts
- Emergency services: 999
- Samaritans, for anyone in emotional distress: 116 123 (free, 24 hours)
6. Confidentiality Policy
What is shared in a mentoring session stays between the mentor and mentee. This trust is what makes honest, valuable conversations possible.
What is confidential
- Anything discussed in sessions, including business plans, finances, strategy, staff matters and personal circumstances
- Documents, figures or ideas shared by either side
- The fact that a particular person or business is receiving mentoring, unless they are happy for this to be known
What everyone must do
- Never share confidential information with anyone outside the relationship, including other members, advisors or contacts
- Never use confidential information for personal or commercial benefit
- Keep notes and documents secure, in line with the Data Protection Policy
- Keep information confidential after the mentoring relationship ends
Mentors may share general feedback with All Together, such as how sessions are going, without passing on confidential details.
When confidentiality may be broken
Confidentiality may be broken only when:
- Someone is at risk of serious harm to themselves or others (see the Safeguarding Policy)
- There is reason to believe a serious crime has been or will be committed, such as fraud or money laundering
- The law requires it, for example a court order
- The person concerned has given clear permission
Where possible, the person will be told before information is shared, unless doing so would put someone at risk. Only the information needed is shared, and only with those who need it. Any decision to break confidentiality is made with the Designated Safeguarding Lead or Policy Owner and recorded.

10. GLOSSARY
LAWFUL BASIS
Legitimate Interest means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/product and the best and most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us.
Performance of Contract means processing your data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.
Comply with a legal obligation means processing your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation that we are subject to.
YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
You have the right to:
Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal
data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
· If you want us to establish the data’s accuracy.
· Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.
· Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
· You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
