Workshop
C: Family Group Conferencing
Julia
Hennessey, Essex County Council
Liz

Family Group
Conferencing provides an approach that involves the wider family

make changes in his/her life. Liz and Julia have been at the
forefront of developing Family Group Conferencing in school

alternative ways in which FGC's can be used in schools as part of a
whole school restorative approach.
