Family Team Conferencing and other similar family conference models involve family and community members in decision making and case planning to provide safety to children and other family members in child maltreatment cases. Since roughly half of all families experiencing child maltreatment also experience domestic violence, a large percentage of families who are possible candidates for Family Team Conference (FTC) will have a history of domestic violence. These guidelines, which should be read in conjunction with the Handbook for Family Team Conferencing and Domestic Violence: A National Curriculum for Children’s Protective Services, lay out steps to decide whether a family with such a history is a good candidate for a Family Team Conference, and to prepare and conduct a Conference that will result in the best possible child welfare decision and safety for all. Case scenarios offer examples of different circumstances involving domestic violence and describe how an FTC, if planned and structured properly, can safely address case goals. These guidelines are primarily intended to provide additional information to trained Family Team Conference facilitators that will help them address domestic violence issues in the context of Family Team Conferences. In addition, the guidelines offer background information and tips for other Family Team Conference participants, including domestic violence advocates, community-based service providers, child welfare agency workers, and extended family members. Sources of additional information on domestic violence and Family TeamConferences, and related topics, are listed in the resources section. (Author abstract modified)
