Family VOICE: Family group conferencing for children and families: implementation, context and cost-effectiveness
Abstract
Family group conferences (FGCs) in child welfare brings wider family members together to engage in the best way to meet a child’s needs. Shared decision-making is hypothesised to result in more even power-sharing between families and professionals, and greater trust. Previous research suggested FCGs may reduce more intrusive state intervention.
