Empowering practice?
A critical appraisal of the family group conference approach
By Carol Lupton and Paul Nixon
This book examines the nature and meaning of 'empowerment' in the child welfare context using the family group conference approach to decision making in child welfare and protection. The authors evaluate the FGC approach so that current practice can be improved and lessons learned for other areas of work with children and families.
