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.
