FGDM describes any meeting that brings family together to make decisions. Family group conferences are the gold standard of family group decision-making models. They are family-led, evidence-based and the key principles include:
With no previous or current involvement in decision-making.
Families have a private space to discuss and develop their plans.
The coordinator has time to prepare family, children, wider network and practitioners.
The family consent to the process and can withdraw their consent at any time.
Children are involved from the beginning and throughout the process.
