What will happen if I do not agree to do the Family Group Conference (FGC)?

If you decide that a family group conference is not the right thing for you and your family the facilitator will inform the caseworker of your decision.  If you change your mind at any point in the future, you can contact your caseworker and ask them to make a new referral. The caseworker will continue to work with you and your family.
