A Circle of Support must include at least one non-family member if guardian is CSW.

Focusing on diverse and independent input in planning, the Circle of Support is designed to include perspectives beyond just family when the guardian is a CSW. Having at least one non-family member ensures safeguards against potential family-driven bias and provides an external viewpoint that supports the participant’s preferences and autonomy. A non-family member can help balance the guardian’s professional role with broader advocacy and accountability, contributing to more person-centered decisions. This rule takes effect whenever the guardian is a CSW, and it isn’t dependent on the participant’s request. Examples of non-family members include friends, neighbors, advocates, or other professionals who are not related to the participant.
