respective workplace. Instead, they are free to consult any registered mentor who
is available to render them the requisite assistance.
Trained mentors must be prepared to shoulder their responsibilities as guidance
counsellors, assistants, consultants or counsellors to those in need of assistance.
A mentor must be prepared to utilise his/her knowledge, expertise and uphold the
relevant values and ethics whilst rendering such assistance.
