CONFLICT OF INTEREST IN MENTORING
For it to be smooth and successful mentoring, conflicts of interest will be handled as follows:
- Any actual or potential conflict of interest should be disclosed in the course of mentoring by the mentor and the mentee, e.g. previous conflict or confrontation should be disclosed and care should be taken in mentoring a relative or a family member.
- Mentor and mentee will operate within the defined rules of the FOMUP.
- Care must be taken to avoid potential conflicts and disclosure of confidential information to third parties by both the mentor and the mentee.
PROCEDURES FOR MANAGING AND RESOLVING MISUNDERSTANDINGS
There will be openness in communication as a way of managing misunderstanding. In an event of conflict or misunderstanding between the mentor and the mentee, the following procedures will be followed:
- The issue should be brought to the notice of the academic mentoring committee
- In an event where both parties are unable to reach an understanding, the academic mentoring committee will be involved in resolving the conflict/misunderstanding and both parties should discuss issues of contention during the process to resolve the conflict
ETHICAL ISSUES IN MENTORING
To ensure a smooth and perfect mentoring process, the following ethical principles in mentoring should be observed:
- Confidentiality should always be respected and guided by a professional code of ethics.
- Both parties should be frank, honest and truthful and act with respect and dignity in the mentoring process.
