Thinking of Creating a Circle of Support?
This guide outlines what a Circle of Support is and ideas about how you might create a Circle of Support. It provides examples of how others have brought together family, friends and allies committed to assisting a person with a disability to achieve a good life in community and safeguard their interests into the future. This guide also includes a workbook where you can write down all your ideas, dreams, visions and thoughts in one place.
The information in the guide draws on a range of people who have direct experience of working alongside people with intellectual disability and their families to set up, maintain, facilitate and develop their Circle of Support.
