About Relationships Global and its partner organisations

“The research of the Relationships Foundation is outstanding in focusing on important issues which people face in their everyday lives – in the workplace, in the high street, in the family and in institutions. In particular it has helped to demonstrate that ordinary people’s lives would benefit from the adoption of a relational approach to public policy.”

Professor Shirley Dex, Institute of Education, University of London.


"When I first encountered the work of the Relationships Foundation, countless events and incidents in organizational settings over many years suddenly made sense. Michael Schluter and David Lee understand how people think and behave. Managing an organization mainly involves managing human beings. Relational thinking is a critical tool for those who aim to be better managers."

The Hon. Lindsay Tanner MP, Minister for Finance and Deregulation, Australia


“Until fairly recently there has being little by way of rigorous theory or practical process for getting organisations, teams and individuals to tackle real life relationship issues. So the Relationships Foundation’s theory of Relationism, its model of Relational Proximity, and its methodology of Relational Health Auditing are intellectually innovative, socially very timely and pragmatically extremely useful.”

Paul Sandham, Management Consultant.


"I have always been most impressed by the high quality of research produced by the Jubilee Centre.  Research of this kind is a crucial contribution to the national debate." 

Lord Alton, Campaigner and former MP in the UK Parliament
