steps:
|
|
- headline: Convene the circle
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A youth worker convenes a circle with the young person and those
|
|
affected — family, peers, community. The circle opens with
|
|
guidelines: speak honestly, listen, no blame.
|
|
- headline: Share what happened
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Each person shares what happened from their view and the impact on
|
|
them. The young person hears the impact directly, not second-hand.
|
|
- headline: Identify what is needed
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The circle identifies what the young person needs — support,
|
|
skills, connection — and what those affected need to feel safe.
|
|
- headline: Build a plan
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Together the circle builds a plan: what the young person will do,
|
|
what support the youth worker will provide, what the community will
|
|
offer. The plan is specific and time-bound.
|
|
- headline: Follow up in circle
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The circle reconvenes to check progress. Success is measured by
|
|
changed behaviour and relationship, not by completion of a sanction.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
A young person moves toward changed behaviour through relational
|
|
connection, with the community invested in their path rather than
|
|
punishing from outside.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
ROCA's evidence base shows that persistent relationship, not sanction,
|
|
drives change. The youth worker's presence in the young person's life
|
|
is the intervention, not just the circle. |
