  2. INNOVATIVE MODELS AND PRACTICES FOR ENGAGING WITH FAMILIES AND RELATIONAL NETWORKS WHAT IS A GOOD DECISION? • A DECISION IN SOCIAL WORK • THE FAMILY GROUP CONFERENCE • GOOD DECISIONS LEADING TO GOOD OUTCOMES • A DECISION THAT IS A GOOD OUTCOME IN ITSELF • A DECISION THAT FORMS A GOOD FOUNDATION • A DECISION THAT IS PRODUCED EFFICIENTLY • RESEARCH THAT IS PRODUCED EFFICIENTLY … • A RESEARCH FRAME FOR FGC HOW DO WE ASSESS A DECISION MAKING MODEL?

  3. INNOVATIVE MODELS AND PRACTICES FOR ENGAGING WITH FAMILIES AND RELATIONAL NETWORKS Decisions in social work because • the law enforces • the user agrees FGC • the law provides a frame • the user decides within it A DECISION IN SOCIAL WORK …

  4. INNOVATIVE MODELS AND PRACTICES FOR ENGAGING WITH FAMILIES AND RELATIONAL NETWORKS Provides a decision-making model • that has a legal frame • where the user has rights (to other family, to information, to respect for the decision) • that may have by-products from the process • where the decision will lead to actions that are the cause, perhaps in a complex way, of outcomes THE FAMILY GROUP CONFERENCE

  5. INNOVATIVE MODELS AND PRACTICES FOR ENGAGING WITH FAMILIES AND RELATIONAL NETWORKS Aim: improved welfare, protection, of the child But this welfare, and protection, is produced: • As measurable outcomes over suitable periods • may be long, may involve many factors, may need very large number of participants because of family differences • AND within the FGC process itself … GOOD DECISIONS LEADING TO GOOD OUTCOMES

  6. INNOVATIVE MODELS AND PRACTICES FOR ENGAGING WITH FAMILIES AND RELATIONAL NETWORKS The product is a decision the family supports • that is correct because as a family member • you agree • you have taken part and accept the result • because you accept the process A decision that the state supports, and where the relevant FGC member role is as a citizen and citizen/employee A DECISION THAT IS A GOOD OUTCOME IN ITSELF

  7. INNOVATIVE MODELS AND PRACTICES FOR ENGAGING WITH FAMILIES AND RELATIONAL NETWORKS To legitimise a caring option (e.g. different carers) • thereby not reducing capacity To make sense of your own development • to curate it To bring more people into the picture To bring more resources (money, space) into the picture A DECISION THAT FORMS A GOOD FOUNDATION

  8. INNOVATIVE MODELS AND PRACTICES FOR ENGAGING WITH FAMILIES AND RELATIONAL NETWORKS For the family members • use of time • minimising nervousness • doing more than just the decision For the system • use of scarce resources • minimising objections A DECISION THAT IS PRODUCED EFFICIENTLY

  9. INNOVATIVE MODELS AND PRACTICES FOR ENGAGING WITH FAMILIES AND RELATIONAL NETWORKS Long term outcome studies very welcome BUT • R&D spend per staff member in Health £3,400, Social Care £25 • There are around 3x more Community based clinical academics than social work academics What else could you (should you) do with the money? RESEARCH THAT IS PRODUCED EFFICIENTLY …
