The process is confidential. Participants agree to keep to themselves what they hear in a meeting. The CJC will share information with people outside the meeting, such as school personnel or probation officers, only if agreed to by the participants. However, Circles of Support and Accountability operate under a “no secrets” policy, which requires that core members report any infraction of the rules governing their release to their probation officers. COSA members will not keep a core member’s secrets, which is an important part of the agreement that core members and volunteers sign upon entering the program.
