Family Group Conference

A Family Group Conference (FGC) is a type of meeting designed to involve family members and friends in making decisions about a child's welfare, especially when there's a concern for their safety or wellbeing. The process allows families to collaborate with professionals, such as social workers, to create a plan that prioritizes the child's needs. It empowers families by giving them a voice in the decision-making process, promoting cultural values, and encouraging support networks. The goal is to ensure the child remains connected to their family and community while addressing any issues affecting their care.
