A Family Group Conference is a decision making process by which family members, blood or non-blood relatives and friends come together to plan and make decisions for children who have been identified either by the family themselves or outside individuals/agencies, as being in need of a plan to safeguard and promote their welfare within a family network. We are independent from Social Services and offer family members a chance to get together, to find out what is happening in the family, to discuss and to make a decision on how to sort out problems relating to the care of children.
