One of the most valuable resources that parents and caregivers can access through the platform is the Community Real Stories. By sharing real stories, you are helping to inspire and support many others in your organization who may be in the same life stages and experiencing similar challenges or emotions.
We appreciate that some senior members of the organization may be limited with completing written responses. In these instances, Circle In recommends nominating an appropriate team member from the organization to manage this process. In previous cases, a team member has arranged a time directly with the real story participant to interview them and transcribe their answers. These are then sent to the Circle In team to edit as per the standard process.
Action
Stories are managed and completed via this link with Circle In’s Real Stories team. Participants answer an initial few questions to ascertain key themes and a few more in-depth follow up questions to help get the most of their experience. There is no need to worry about perfect answers - the Circle In team will ensure the story is brought to life!
