Welcome to our website

This website advises you on all aspects of our charity's projects as well as outlining the origins of the methods used by Daybreak FGC (Family Group Conferences).

"Ki mai ki au. He aha te taonga nui o te ao? Maku e ki, he tamariki, he tamariki, he tamariki."
"Should you ask me, what is the greatest treasure in the World?
I would reply, it is children, it is children, it is children.
"

Family Group Conferences developed amongst Maori tribes in the 1980s. They were used to provide a system for solving child welfare problems that did not involve the State. FGCs have evolved in this country (UK) and across the world as a way of empowering families to solve problems for themselves. Find out more about FGCs.

 

Daybreak is a charity that organises FGCs. It also organises training into the concept of FGCs. There are a number of projects across the South of England.

We work with families, where there is a child in need, to arrange meetings of family and friends who get together to make plans for help. The FGCs can be a great way of making sure that a family's voice is heard and listened to. See how FGCs works and read how they have helped families to solve their problems.
