What
is a Circle of Friends?
-----------------------------------
'Circle
of Friends' are groups
of children and young people who have
volunteered from the child or young person's
class within their school, or group within
their community, who have agreed to meet
together in the hope that natural
friendships will develop
and the child shall then be socially
included to enjoy ordinary
activities within their
circle of friends, life of the school
and their local community.
Why
start a Circle of Friends?
A Dreamtime circle facilitator will help
the child or young person to become involved
in activities and make friends. We will
help plan activities and ask for ideas
to help everyone get to know each other
better. The school, group or family will
need to provide a place for the Circle
of Friends to meet, that
the child or young person is happy with.
Everybody will try to make it welcoming,
friendly and fun.
