As you may know, the Informal Mentoring Project is a pilot scheme providing mentors for ex-offenders after release from prison. M & E Consulting has been commissioned to carry out an external evaluation of the pilot scheme.
Following our first interim evaluation of the Informal Mentoring Project in October 2011, we are now carrying out a second interim evaluation and would like to request your help.
We would like to find out about your experiences of being involved with the project since November 2011. The following survey is anonymous and will only take about 10 minutes to complete.
We would really appreciate your help. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact [email protected]
