The facilitator understands you may be nervous/anxious and is there to support the family through the meeting. Once everyone has arrived, the facilitator will start with introductions and acknowledgement of country. The family group conference will then move through three stages;

1. Information Sharing
   
2. Private family time
   
3. Plan presented and agreed on
   

There will be breaks during the day and a shared lunch. The facilitator is there to ensure the day runs smoothly and that a family plan is developed that addresses the child protection concerns and ensures the safety and wellbeing of the child/ren.
