Abstract
How is it possible to perform good social work in child protection? One response, respectful
of the rights of families, is working together with children, parents and the extended
family in order to find shared solutions. A Family Group Conference is a decision making
process in which the extended family group makes a plan in order to safeguard and promote
the welfare of children and young people in need. The co-ordinator has a key role in the
FGC process. He/she works with the family to set up and facilitate the meeting and his/her
effectiveness is a predictor of the success of the FGC. This paper analyses the role and the
tasks of the co-ordinator, describing a case study.
