What if I do not have money or transport to get to the family group conference?
Talk
to the facilitator or your caseworker about these concerns early on, the
facilitator can advocate on your behalf around financial supports from the
Department of Communities and Justice so that you are able to attend the family
group conference. Often family members will support each other by sharing a car
journey or services involved with the family can transport individuals to the
meeting.
