Completing the Circle

Completing the Circle refers to the involvement of, and consultation with, service users and carers who use or may use in the future the services of the Adult Services Department.

It is called Completing the Circle, because involvement and consultation is a continuous dialogue. To support this dialogue, the Completing the Circle group has been set up to work with the Department to improve the process and practice of involvement and consultation. The group consists of service users and carers from a range of situations who work together with the support of the Department but who nevertheless remain independent.
