“Learn from families to support their children.”
Veritas Training equips practitioners across children’s and adult services with Family Group Conference (FGC) knowledge, restorative tools, and practical skills. Drawing on family expertise, we help professionals facilitate workable, family-led plans that protect children’s rights and deliver sustainable child safeguarding outcomes.
FGC co-ordinator foundation course
Our premier four-day programme is delivered live virtually or in person, accompanied by an extensive practical training manual. Perfect for aspiring and newly appointed coordinators, social workers, assistant teaching staff, probation and youth offending officers, and early help staff wanting to work restoratively with adults, parents, and children. Delegates master the complete 5-stage FGC process, neutral and independent facilitation, robust risk management, and the negotiation of statutory bottom lines.
Why train with Veritas Training
Veritas Training is built on a clear principle: we learn from families to effectively safeguard and support their children.
Our CPD‑accredited programme prepares you for independent FGC coordination using up‑to‑date research, restorative practice, and statutory legal guidance. Every module aligns with the Family Rights Group National Quality Standards, ensuring you meet the expectations of local authority commissioning teams.
You’ll learn how to overcome the national 53% engagement drop‑off, embed the child’s voice meaningfully, and build confidence through a live half‑day mock conference.
