Evidence shows that a long-term mentoring partnership is the most effective in helping a child or young person to reach their potential. It is advisable for the mentoring to take place over a minimum period of 9 – 12 months. This enables continuity and consistency to be maintained. Mentoring relationships sustained over a significant period are more likely to produce beneficial outcomes and are likely to become progressively more effective with time.
