The collaboration between Foundations, Coram, Family Rights Group, Daybreak, and Data to Insight will identify methods for routinely collecting data on which families are offered and participate in FGCs at pre-proceedings stage, and their outcomes.
FGCs are family-led decision-making processes, in which wider family members, friends and a community network come together to plan for a child who is at risk of harm or abuse. FGCs ensure a child’s voice is also heard in the process where possible.
The new project will help build a picture of FGC access across England, which does not currently exist, according to the organisations involved.
It is designed to contribute to improved understandings of what FGC data local authorities currently collect and what monitoring systems they use in a bid to inform the development of options for routinely collecting this information across England.
