This book provides information on family group conferences and related child welfare practices. In chapter 2, "Family Group Conferencing: Cultural Origins, Sharing, and Appropriation - A Maori Perspective", Catherine Love discusses some elements of traditional Maori systems and models, and provides a history of Maori involvement with state welfare and justice institutions. Discussion is also provided on the current operations of family group conferences within state child and family, care and protection, and youth justice institutions. In their chapter, "Conferencing in New Zealand: Child Protection", Mike Doolan and Pam Phillips examine the framework underpinning New Zealand developments in child protection and family group conferences. They discuss the medicolegal and ecological approaches as two frameworks within child protection services.
