What happens on the day? (Parent/s)
The facilitator will ask you to arrive earlier than the
other people attending so that you are not arriving when everyone else is
there. The facilitator understands you will be nervous/anxious and is there to
help you through the meeting. Once everyone has arrived, the facilitator will
start the meeting with introductions and acknowledgement of country. The family
group conference will then move through three stages;
- Information Sharing
- Private family time
- 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.
