Family Group Decision Making
When there is abuse or neglect in families, one means by which family members can decide what to do is known as "Family Group Decision Making." This approach allows plans to be made by the family, together with their relatives, friends and other close supports. Together, these planners make up the "family group." Their plans deal with the maltreatment of any family member, whether a child, young person or adult.
