Recommendation 8
8
Monitor and report on family group decision-making impact, considering extension to earlier stages.
Conclusion
We welcome the Department’s commitment to working with domestic abuse charities when developing its guidance for family group decision-making (FGDM). The Department should monitor the impact of the new requirement and, after one year, report back to this Committee as to whether FGDM should be extended to an earlier stage as well as to family reunification. (Recommendation, Paragraph 21)
