The Charity’s objectives are:
(a) To advance education and training, to relieve poverty and to promote and protect the good health of people who are likely to or who have committed offences and the families of such persons affected by such offences in order to assist with the prevention of such offences, particularly sexual offences;
(b) To advance the public’s education in the understanding of approaches to public protection and prevention of crime.
Vision
Circles UK’s vision is of no more victims, through a community contribution to reducing sexual re-offending, harnessing the skills and dedication of local volunteers.
Mission Statement
Circles UK seeks greater public protection by working towards a substantial reduction in sexual offending by providing a range of services to local Circles of Support and Accountability Projects. Further, it aims to develop greater public understanding of community approaches to public protection.
Our six key values are
Safety – We work towards the objective of ‘no more victims’.
Responsibility – Holding individuals and organisations to account for their actions.
Inclusiveness - Managing risk through inclusion not exclusion.
Growth and learning – Recognising that with necessary support and challenge, people have the ability to grow, learn and change their behaviour.
Individuality and respect - Treating people with humanity and respect.
