Family Group Conferencing (FGC)

A family group conference is a family-led meeting in which the family and friends network come together to make a plan for a child. The process is supported by an independent coordinator from the FGC team who helps the family prepare. FGC also offer Emergency Network Meetings in situations where a quicker solution is needed. This is usually where the family are not already known to the Trust, and where because of a safeguarding incident, the child/children are likely to be accommodated as a result.
