Task 1
INTRODUCTION
In the modern societies where life is become incredibly fast paced and quite complex,
there are numerous problems which are faced by families which they are not equipped to deal
with without public and additional societal support (Payne, 2018). Social work has been in the
limelight once again as it is an important academic disciple concerned with the optimization of

Family group conferencing (FGC) is a very important method of intervention to combat
cases such as the one listed in the case study as it involves a planned meeting with family
members along with social care workers or other civil authorities such as the police to make
plans for protection of children or sort out serious issues such as domestic violence and
substance abuse (De Jong and Schout, 2018). This chosen method of intervention can help
families sort their own issues themselves and also make people aware of the harmful
consequences that their actions end up having on their own family members.
With the help of FGC, Carol and Daniel can openly address their current differences
which has made the matter escalate to use of physical violence and the social worker authorities
can counsel and address the problems of trauma being experienced by the siblings a result of
toxic home environment. By the help of police and law authorities in the family group meetings,
