This training manual was developed by the Australian innovators of the Wagga model of community conferences/family group conferences in New South Wales. This loose-leaf booklet provides a brief history, theory and philosophy of community conferences. Presented are explanations of receiving case details, developing a conference plan, contacting participants, arranging the conference, the conference process, conference resolutions, and techniques of conferencing coordination. Additional materials include mediation versus conferencing, the coordinator’s guide with sample forms, and the coordinators checklist. Case studies, training transparency masters, and additional readings are appended.
