Clicking on the menu item will take you to the list of Relationships currently set up on the system, if there are any. Relationships are one of the lists that can be specified on pre-implementation spreadsheets (the initial data for your system, provided to Charitylog at the very start of implementation)_ so it is likely that there will be some options here.

==The need for two types of Relationship==
 
 
 
Personal relationships and Carer relationships are created and used separately because that's reality! Someone's carer may or may not be personally related/connected to them another way, so Charitylog makes it possible to store information about these links separately.

Notice that sometimes you will need to think about both "sides" of the relationship. For example,  if you are going to log the fact that people have Wives, you will also need to provide a way to log the fact that people have Husbands. On the other hand, "Neighbour" works both ways, so there is no "opposite" relationship needed here.

Carer Relationships are edited in exactly the same way as Personal Relationships. You may not need to enter both sides of a carer relationship, because someone who is a Cared For might well have several types of carer - the pairings would be;
 
 
 
* Primary Carer/Cared For
 
* Parent Carer/Cared For
 
* Sibling Carer/Cared For
 
* Employed Carer/Care Customer
 
 
 
...so you would only need to create "Cared For" once, as it can be used for three different types of Relationship pairing.

The Relationships feature is useful for general information about people - even if you don't specifically work with related people, it can still be useful to know who is related to whom. However, the Relationships feature is often used by customers who deliver services to family groups, or deliver services to both a Carer and a Cared For. Using Relationships, these customers can store information about links between their clients.
