About Us
Yorkshire Accord Coaching & Mentoring Scheme is a highly successful and much valued partnership which provides cost effective coaching and mentoring opportunities, and is open to the private, public and third sector organisations. It was established in 2000 to encourage collaboration and sharing of best practice across partner organisations.
Our Aim
​
To enable individuals to maximise their own potential leading to a positive impact on organisational performance. Organisations involved work together to create affordable and mutually beneficial cross-organisational coaching and mentoring opportunities. Opportunities are offered in two ways;
1 - By developing a pool of coaches and mentors – we provide high
quality learning and development support through training, regular
ongoing professional development events, and access to coaching
supervision to support confident and ethical practice.
2 - Offering 1-2-1 coaching and mentoring support to staff – we focus on
providing support to individuals and can respond to a broad range of
potential professional learning and development agendas with the
aim of bringing positive benefits to the organisations involved.
"Our partnership is more than just an agreement, we are a community"
