Family Group Conferencing (FGC) is a preferred method of alternative dispute resolution for children in need of care and protection and their families. It involves independent facilitation for people within a child’s family unit, DCJ and other family members and friends to agree to a plan which will keep the child safe.
An evaluation of FGC was undertaken by the research team at the Research Centre for Children and Families (RCCF) at the University of Sydney. In this FACSIAR Lunch and Learn, researchers from the RCCF shared findings from this evaluation and Stephen Bray, A/Director, Family Preservation and Child Protection team at DCJ shared what these findings mean for program, policy and practice.
The webinar was chaired by Merran Butler (Director, Statistical Analysis, Data Governance and Research, FACSIAR).
