Completing a relationship circle

When you are supporting someone to complete their relationship circle, you may find it useful to use prompts to help them to explore their relationships, such as:

  • Photo albums
  • Social networking sites e.g. Facebook, Bebo, Special Friends Online
  • School yearbooks
  • Address books
  • Phones speed dial lists 

When you are developing a relationship circle with someone, you should use the most appropriate communication methods for them e.g. pictures, objects, words etc.


Read these top tips:

  • Include the date of when the relationship circle was created.
  • Be clear about who each person is, give their name and state the relationship to the person.
  • If you include people who have not been in someone’s life for a while, then note how long they have not been around.
  • Be clear about the role each person in the circle could have in supporting the person to achieve the lifestyle they want to lead.
