📢Important new resource on Family Group Conferences

📣 We were delighted to welcome National Kinship Ambassador Jahnine Davis to our office yesterday! Jahnine has brought passion and commitment to making real change for children and their families. We look forward to continuing to work with her to deliver that change.

The success of #FamilyGroupConferences depends on how they are delivered – our new resource draws on evidence to help local leaders improve the way they use FGCs to support children & families. Pam Ledward of Family Rights Group on why this is key 🗣⬇ foundations.org.uk/our-work/resou…
