Correctional Service of Canada (2001). Circles of Support and Accountability: A Guide To Training Potential Volunteers. Training manual 2002 Chaplaincy. Correctional Services of Canada. Downloaded 6 July 2004.

Circles of Support & Accountability represent an innovative response to a controversial social issue in our society. The purpose of this manual is to assist in the training of volunteers who are willing to become a part of a Circle of Support and Accountability for warrant expiry sex offenders. This document is also an initial attempt at a distillation of the work and wisdom of many individuals across Canada who have worked with this still relatively new initiative. Its creation was occasioned by a recognition of the increasing need to develop greater consistency in the process and standards of orienting and training potential volunteers and professionals.
