Sessions
Build a Session
R.E.A.L. MethodRecent Sessions
D.M. · Session 7
L2Inner Strength. First time naming anxiety before the session closed down. Said "I can feel it coming." That is new.
J.S. · Session 12
L3Future Focus. Drove the agenda. Brought back the conversation from last week unprompted. Three concrete steps toward the course application.
M.R. · Session 18
L3Still in work at 13 weeks. Asked me how I was before we started. The relationship has its own life now.
The score tells you where a young person is. The gap tells you what to do about it.
The headline score is the practitioner's. The gap is never averaged into it - it is carried into the next ninety days as the thing to work on, and the same two people score it again from wherever they now stand. Evidence of Progress is written at the close of each turn, never scored, never added into the fifty - so any two turns compare directly.
CIRCLE Progress Turn - D.M. / RLE-001 - Age 16
CIRCLE Progress Turn · Turn 1 - Following the Opening Circle
Due this weekScored with the young person present. Two scores per dimension - theirs and yours. Where you differ by 3 or more, that difference is the conversation, not the problem.
What moved across this turn?
Progress Circle
E - Evidence of Progress sits outside the scored circle. Never added to the total. Written together.

Supervision Log
New Supervision Record
Previous Records
Reflective Supervision - 14
CompleteBrought J.S. - the moment where they drove the agenda and I realised I had to stop leading. Discussed the L3 transition and when to name it.
Clinical Oversight - 30 Programme start
CompleteGuardrail review across all cases. D.M. welfare check - circumstances score remains the concern. Plan agreed: flag to home manager if drops below 3.
Reflective Practice
This Week's Reflection
R.E.A.L. L2Practice Standard - Self-Assessment
The relationship survives rupture, absence and refusal. Turns up anyway.
Reads the room and adjusts. Occasionally over-reads own state as the young person's.
Asks what behaviour is protecting against, most of the time.
One thing usually transfers. Cannot always say which.
The RLE Methodology
R.E.A.L. Mentoring Method
Registered Trade MarkThe whole person - a circle
Circumstances, inner strength, relationships, confidence and life opportunity are held together as one circle - because a life does not improve one box at a time. Close the circle and you have a person, not a checklist.
The whole journey - a spiral
A young person's progress is recorded like the rings of a tree - the good turns and the hard ones alike - so it travels with them across settings. Setbacks return, but it is never the same circle twice: what was built is written down and carried forward, so the next adult starts from what is known rather than from zero.
The practice standard. Four principles that define how a trusted adult shows up - not what they do, but how they are in the room.
The practice standard that holds when the adult changes. Consistent across every setting. Portable across every move. The methodology that travels with the young person, not the practitioner.
Reads the room and adjusts. Meets what is actually in front of them, not what the referral form said.
Behaviour makes sense in context. Asks what it is protecting against before deciding what to do with it.
Something transfers from every session. Not necessarily what was planned. That is the work.
R.E.A.L.® defines how a trusted adult practises at every level. The four levels are: Relational Presence, Intentional Skill-Building, Supported Autonomy, and Planned Transition.
The levels are not a hierarchy of good or poor engagement. Movement between them is developmentally led, not time-based, and readiness shows through emotional regulation, engagement and relational safety and trust - not compliance or performance. It is what stops us pushing skills too early, raising demands while emotional regulation is low, or reading disengagement as resistance. The structure is scaffolding in Vygotsky's sense: support that reduces as capability grows, until it is no longer needed.
L.I.F.E. Programme
Registered Trade MarkThe four pillars absent from every school curriculum. Not delivered in sequence - delivered in response to where the young person is.
Health, routine, physical activity, nutrition, sleep, money, relationships with self and others.
Who they are beyond their story so far. Strengths, values, voice, what they stand for.
Direction, aspiration, goal-setting, planning, employer connections, skills for adulthood.
Education, employment, training. Not just entry - sustained 13 and 26 weeks. The destination.
CIRCLE Score - Across Three Contexts
Pending study design sign-off - Edge Hill UniversityFive dimensions scored 1-10. The score is consistent across all settings. Anchors vary by setting - what a 5 looks like in a residential home is different from what it looks like in a school. Switch the context in the topbar and the anchor language updates instantly. The score is consistent. What changes is the language. That is what allows the record to survive a young person moving from a school to a residential home to a community programme without starting from zero. - because what a 5 looks like in a residential home is different from what it looks like in a school. Switch the context in the topbar and re-read the anchors on the CIRCLE Score page.
Anchors describe engagement, attendance and presence in a community outreach context. Sport and community settings. 486,000 hidden NEETs. The engagement magnets.
Anchors describe engagement within or alongside an educational setting. Burnham reforms. 14-plus technical pathways. Year 10 as the entry point.
Anchors describe presence within a residential or supported accommodation context. 3.5x more likely NEET. The record travels with them across every placement.
The rule that protects the instrument. Anchors are interpretive guides, never arithmetical sub-scores. The dimension is scored 1-10 as a whole by two people. The moment three sub-scores are averaged into a dimension, every baseline ever taken stops being comparable.
My Training Pathway
Safeguarding and Child Protection training must be completed and verified before accessing any young person records or delivery modules. This is a compliance gate - not optional. Enhanced DBS verification must be uploaded and approved by your organisation administrator before progression.
R.E.A.L. Mentoring Method - Practice Levels
Core StandardThe practice standard that holds when the adult changes. Consistent, portable, verifiable. When the adult changes, the standard does not.
Once the relationship holds, the curriculum begins. Scaffold within the young person's reach.
Young person drives the agenda. Practitioner reduces scaffolding as capability grows.
The ending is prepared not avoided. CIRCLE Opening Plan completed. Evidence of Progress written.
Levels 3 and 4 unlock on completion of Module 5 and satisfactory supervisor sign-off. You cannot self-certify progression. All certification is verified by Real Outcomes Group Limited. Organisations maintaining fewer than 80% compliance across their practitioner team lose licensed delivery status.
