The professional’s role in helping families embed their plan

Asking yourself ‘What next?’ once a plan is approved and sent? Unsure about your role in helping families to deliver their plan? Not sure when to give feedback, or support a monitor?

Once a family has created a plan, and a social worker has approved it there is a lot of learning and hard work for the family to make it work. This is a new process for everyone – but what is your role in this process? The plan is the output of the FGC, but how can you best support the long-term and sustainable outcomes after the Conference?

Join this session to help families embed their plans in a way that is reflective of the restorative model of Family Group Conferences.
