What will we talk about?

The focus of a family group conference is always about the safety and wellbeing of the child/ren. The facilitator will ask parents, family, and services to share any worries or concerns they have about the child/ren, but this is to help the family to develop a plan to address the concerns. The facilitator will also ask people to share the strengths of the family and what is working well, this is really important to hear! People can share what supports they are able to offer the family and sometimes, who else can care for the child/ren if the parents are not able to. If the child/ren attend the family group conference, it is important to hear their wishes, worries and hopes for the future.
