Research and Practice Network

Welcome to the Research and Practice Network.

Family and Group Conferencing (FGC) is growing as an approach in adult social care and mental health services.  It offers an inclusive process in which people can plan for their support and/or recovery on their own terms - alongside family, friends and other people that matter to them.

The Research and Practice Network provides a forum for developing practice through learning together and exchanging ideas, experiences and findings from research.

This network is hosted by Community Catalysts CIC.

Deliberative Forum: firming up our understanding of how Family and Group Conferences (FGC) for adults work

Crowndale Centre, Camden – Thursday 7th September 2023

In the Deliberative Forum, we invited a range of people with knowledge and experience in relation to Family and Group Conferences to check out and take forward our emerging understanding of how FGCs for adults’ work, and what differences they can make in people’s lives.  Most importantly, this included people with experience of having a conference, as well as co-ordinators, managers and those who may refer people to FGC services.
