They would like to be better connected with people who have similar views and experiences. However for those who think differently, there was a recognition that change is a process that can take time. Those who may not be convinced of this approach may need to be supported to experience the difference of this approach in comparison to current approaches. Also generally, whilst this was a good experience people mentioned they felt they were talking about the value of relational practice \u2018in a bubble\u2019, and would like this discussion and testing this kind of practice to be more wide spread.<\/p>\n<p>As many points relating to \u2018what can we do next?\u2019 and \u2018what we need is\u2026\u2019 were raised during this reflection session we identified as a group that people wanted the Relationships Matter project to continue. Specifically, people identified they would like to:<\/p>\n<p>Test the idea they developed at the JAM and collate evidence about what works and why, what needs to be developed and how. For Kibble this relates to sharing the new job description with Mangers and discussing with management the new anti-procedure and positive procedure. Includem said they would prototype the service within their transitional service. Hot Chocolate will continue to take videos about what love means to them and asked for other people to make videos about what love means and share them. Falkirk will continue to pilot their ongoing support conversations and Care Visions will start to evidence the work they are already doing so this can be shared more widely. CELCIS said they would share working examples of good practice and Young Scot are interested in developing a campaign about love.<\/p>\n<p>Poeple also want to:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\u2018Grab the legislation (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gov.scot\/topics\/people\/young-people\/legislation\">Children and Young people Act Scotland 2015<\/a>) and make it happen!\u2019<\/li>\n<li>\u2018Dismantle what LOVE means\u2019<\/li>\n<li>\u2018Kick negative\u2019s arse!\u2019<\/li>\n<li>\u2018All of us claim this year as the year of love\u2019<\/li>\n<li>\u2018Just do it and <em>show <\/em>people how we are doing it\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>As there is such energy around supporting one another and integrating relationally based practice in service delivery IRISS has committed to continue the Relationships Matter project in 2015&#8242;-16.
