“…Modellen er tufta på ein ide om brukarmedverknad, der brukaren skal vere med å definere problemet og kva hjelp som trengs (Slettebø, 2000). Vidare legg modellen stor vekt på å rette opp familierelasjonar og familieband (Connolly, 2009;Meyer, 1998Meyer, , 2002Pranis, 2015). Det er vanlig å vise til fem hjørnesteiner i familieråd; 1) Deltaking frå den utvida familie.…”

I denne artikkelen diskutera vi tilpassing av familieråd til ein samisk kontekst. Studien bygg på intervju med sosialarbeidarar i samiske områder. Vi finn at familierådsmodellen sitt teoretiske grunnlag bør tematisere samisk storfamilie, samiske kommunikasjonsformer, samiske ideal for barnet si deltaking og familierådskoordinator sin lokale tilknyting. Det teoretiske grunnlaget må diskutere at lokalsamfunn, familiar og enkeltindivid har ulike samisk identitetar. Det teoretiske grunnlaget bør vidare sjå familieinvolvering i relasjon til fornorsking av det samiske folk og korleis dette kan påverke samspelet innanfor ein familie samt mellom familiar og hjelpeapparat.

“…There are similarities between FGCs that are typically organized and practiced in the social welfare and the youth justice spheres, such as the emphasis on a strength's-based approach, a drive to respond to the holistic and individual needs of each young person and a fundamental goal of keeping children and young people safe (Beck, Kropf & Blume Leonard, 2011). However, there are also elements of discord, such as a greater emphasis on empowerment-based values and principles in welfare-based FGCs and a greater emphasis on restorative values and principles in youth justice FGCs (Connolly, 2009). The authors present a HSB-FGC model, which finds its place in both the social welfare and youth justice spheres and has the potential to bring the two spheres together to better meet the needs of young people in HSB cases.…”

“…Whilst it is not self-evident that young victims and perpetrators will feel empowered in the process, it is possible in well managed cases. Youth welfare FGCs are often based on values and principles related to empowering young people (Connolly, 2009). In practice, young people who experience FGCs feel empowered by the process, welcome the opportunity to have their views heard by their families, and value contributing to the planning process (Bell & Wilson, 2006).…”

In England and Wales, family group conferences (FGCs) are most often found either in the field of youth justice or in the field of child protection, and consequently often have priorities in line with either one of the two systems. On the one hand, FGCs are a restorative justice tool to address offending behavior and hold young perpetrators to account, while giving victims the possibility of contributing to the justice process. On the other hand, FGCs address safeguarding concerns and are used to plan for child safety and protection. In cases where a young person has sexually harmed another young person, that is, has perpetrated harmful sexual behavior (HSB), all young people involved will have both justice and welfare needs. FGCs are emerging as promising mechanisms in such cases, not only because of their ability to deal with both sets of needs for both young people but also because of their potential to address more holistic needs. However, HSB cases are often complex and sensitive, and are not without risk. Drawing on their experiences in research and practice, the authors explore how the holistic needs of both the harmed and harming individual can be balanced within a risk managed HSB-FGC framework.

“…Family Group Conference is a model in social work developed with and for the Maori people in New Zealand. One of the core aims of FGC is to restore and empower family relations (Connolly, 2009), as well as to challenge the traditional role of professionals in problemsolving (Brown, 2003). FGC originated as an indigenous sensitive strategy in social work in Maori society it is largely associated with traditional, indigenous ways of thinking and problem solving (Burford & Hudson, 2000;Love, 2000;Ryburn & Atherton, 1996;Zehr, 2002).…”

“…Subhead level 1: Theoretical Perspectives Subhead level 2: Family Group Conference During the 1980s, there was a shift towards greater inclusion of families in child welfare cases in England, the United States and New Zealand (Connolly, 2009;Connolly & McKenzie, 1999;Lupton & Nixon, 1999;Marsh & Crow, 1998). In New Zealand, this shift was showcased by the Puao-te-Ata-tu (daybreak); a report conducted by Maori leaders directed to the Department of Social Welfare with recommendation of pro-Maori services (The Maori Perspective Advisory Committee, 1998Committee, /2001.…”

It is generally assumed that Family Group Conference (FGC) is a culturally adequate method for social work in indigenous communities. In this meta-synthesis, we question this assumption. Through systematic and strategic searches, we explored the existing trends of FGC research in indigenous contexts. We have included 26 articles are included in the literature review. Our analyses reveal that there is a tendency towards taking the cultural adequacy of FGC for granted. A few researchers question these assumptions, and debate tokenism and colonialism in social work. We argue that implementing FGC in new communities requires foundation in local, cultural context.
