DayBreak Family Group Conferences

Back to the Main Programmes webpage.

The Daybreak DOVE Programmes
Our DOVE Programmes use family group conferences to address situations of domestic violence. The key aim of the DOVE programmes is to enable families to make their own plans that will help keep everyone safe.

A family group conference acts against the secrecy of the abuse by enhancing knowledge and the number of people who know what has been happening. It draws on the strength of the extended family and friendship network for support, information and resources. It brings together, at one place and at one time, agencies who can offer professional resources.

The Dove Programme in Portsmouth
This work is closely linked to our child welfare work in the city, and takes referrals from social workers. It is a new piece of work for us in Portsmouth, and we will be working closely with our colleagues to monitor outcomes and achievements.
