  • To check with about an action that was taken that you think may need amends.

    Setting guidelines for sponsorship:
  • At the beginning, set out parameters of contact (how often and when.)
  • Do not make decisions for a sponsee.
  • Encourage sponsee to write and discuss written material of chosen.
  • Advise sponsee that it is ok to change sponsors.
