A progressive approach to mentoring, learning and development

This section describes how to identify the right members to assist and mentor new Companions. The best person for the role is not always the most senior member of the Chapter. Mentoring also involves promoting learning and development. Some of this can be done collectively in the Chapter. A lot of information about the Royal Arch is also available online and involves using resources such as ‘Solomon’.
