This is a success story about a boy who, for the purposes of this article, will be called Peter. The article discusses the development and evaluation of a Circle of Friends approach to peer support in a mainstream school, which produced significant gains for Peter and for his peers, who also proved to be very influential in promoting positive behaviour and reducing isolation.

Impact: Deborah Litten undertook an evaluation of Peter's Circle of
Friends project as part of her BA (Hons) degree in Children's
Special Needs and Inclusive Education at Kingston University. This is the outcome of a small study that took place in the context of work-based learning and can hopefully find relevance in other settings.
