The Family Plan is an important part of the family group conference process. During
private family time, the family will develop their own plan to address the
worries and concerns that were discussed during information sharing. The family
plan will record tasks that need to be done, by the parents and/or family to
ensure the safety and wellbeing of the child/ren. The family plan will include
who is going to do it (task), by when (timeframe) and who will check it has
been done. The facilitator will be available to help if families get stuck or
cannot agree on something, and guiding questions will be provided to help the
family think about their plan.
