Title: ‘Why Wouldn’t You Have a Circle?’ An Evaluation of the Glebe House Circles Pilot

Published by: FTC Trust (July 2018 )

A Circle comprises a core member (the ex-resident) and a group of local community volunteers. The purpose of the Circle is to provide the core member with a supportive social network that enables successful re-integration into the community while managing the risk of further sexually harmful behaviour.

The impetus for the development of Circles at Glebe House comes from the desire of trustees and staff that residents move on from the programme in a positive and well-supported way.

The good relationships that young men built with transitions staff at Glebe House were sustained in the community. Transitions staff have a thorough knowledge of the young men and approach their work with flexibility, imagination, good humour and care.
