NPC's report tells donors how to spot a good mentoring programme and explores which approaches work well and which don't.
‘A child told one of our charities: "In my last school I was really, really bad and I got excluded four times … for hitting a teacher with a chair, punching a teacher in the head, fighting and throwing a chair through the window … I normally meet Janine every Tuesday or Wednesday or Monday to talk to see what I have done at school … Mentors help you control your temper and they take you out places and it helps you in school."’
