Family Group Conferences

Picture
Every family comes up against problems from time to time - that’s normal.

A Family Group Conference (FGC) is a meeting where a whole family - including extended family and friends - can discuss things with help from professionals.

FGCs are a way of helping families problem solve and make the best plan possible for the children within them.

Decisions at an FGC are made by members of the family, and not by the professionals. So parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles, cousins and even friends are all involved in sorting out a situation that has occurred.

Reasons for holding an FGC might include:
  • When a child or other family member is at risk
  • When decisions need to be made about where a child or other family member should live
  • When a family need help to cope better
