Evaluation of Kent family group conference service by Prof Peter Marsh. 67% of children at high risk who didn't have an FGC entered care, compared to 25% who did have an fgc. If Kent didn't have an FGC service, would cost them £4.6m - £7.4m a year in additional care costs

[Sue Williams @famsafeguardin1]

It is easy to become a rescuer without thought for long term impact removing children from their families can have if we just keep on identifying risks. How much more satisfying it is when you get together a plan families want to engage with and you can keep them together

[Sue Williams @famsafeguardin1]

I think on the basis of Leeds experiences that DfE should consider a wider trial with LAs who are not partners in practice as there are so few of them. Hertfordshire are keen to try but we don’t qualify for pip status.@CathyAshley @IsabelleTrowler @JennyColesDCS https://t.co/doGoGDHMzT

[Stephen Walker @SteveWLeeds]

In Leeds we have negotiated as a partner in practice to vary timescales for initial child protection conferences to enable a Family Group Conference to be held. We have found family plans to be robust and sustainable over a longer timeframe. https://t.co/R8BKdEd0fb

[Sue Williams @famsafeguardin1]

If we could extend WT timescales for s47 to case conference to allow time for a FGC before the case conference what a different proposition that would be- Isabelle what do you think? @CathyAshley @IsabelleTrowler @dez_holmes @DCSSurrey @JennyColesDCS @ADCStweets https://t.co/SrFeUvAK2R

@TACTCare @IsabelleTrowler Wonder if @MyCafcass are interested in taking on IRO function? Would greater independence improve care planning?

@Daniel_Woods786 Sounds like a great community-based way of helping parents when their readiness to change is maximised..

Our Foundations parenting course can be a great motivator for change in families https://t.co/GktjoIp9Q3

Viewing parents who've had children removed as potential mothers & fathers of the future is humane & life changing. https://t.co/MQsFBfj66X
