Mentors are not required to be experienced in every single area of work equally, and it is assumed there will be occasions when another member of staff can offer more advice in a specific area. In this case the Mentor is responsible for helping the individual to clarify the type and level of advice they need, and then identify the best advisor. One of the things a mentor can helpfully do is introduce the new member of staff to a network of colleagues who may be of assistance now or in the future.
