Family Group Conferences

Family Group Conferences (FGCs) are a collaborative decision-making process used in social services to create support plans for children and families. They involve the child's family, extended relatives, and key professionals coming together to discuss concerns, share information, and develop a plan that prioritizes the child's well-being. The goal is to empower families by giving them a central role in decision-making, fostering stronger support networks, and promoting more sustainable solutions. FGCs emphasize respectful communication and collective responsibility to ensure the child's safety and healthy development.
