Request a circle
Anyone can ask for a circle
We can help you with the asking. Tell us a little about what’s going on and we’ll get back to you, or just call. There’s no set fee: FACE runs on donations, and you give what you can.
Police, Crown or court making a referral? Use the referral form.
Who to ask
It depends on the kind of trouble
If the police are involved
Ask the investigating officer, or ask through your lawyer if you have one. The officer (or sometimes the Crown) decides whether to divert the matter to FACE instead of laying a charge. Anyone harmed must be willing to attend.
About court & police referrals →If it happened at school
Ask the vice principal, yourself, with a parent, or with our help. A circle can be an alternative to a suspension, or shorten one, and students return with a better attitude.
FACE for Schools →A friend or neighbour
Ask us before police or by-law get involved. Either side, or anyone affected, can ask. Everyone attends voluntarily, but we can help persuade the other side by listening to them first.
FACE for Neighbours →Within the family
Anyone in the family can ask, or someone close to the family, or a professional working with them. We can help speak with other family members about coming.
