Abstract

This article aims to analyze how Family Group Conferences can contribute to the social protection of subjects in situations of social vulnerability. To achieve this goal, we sought to develop a bibliographic and documental research, of an exploratory nature, having as reference framework the authors Howard Zerh (2008; 2015), Allan Macrae (2020), Gosto Esping-Andersen (1991), Célia Lessa Kertenetzky (2012) and Maria Carmelita Yazbek (2010). Initially, the principles and values ​​of Restorative Justice were addressed, the peculiarities of Family Group Conferences and, finally, reflections were made on the relationship between them and social protection. Among the benefits of Family Group Conferences, the strengthening of community and family bonds, the empowerment of the family, through the rescue of the power to decide and carry out the necessary changes, and the maximization of the provision of resources, goods and social services, stood out through the articulation of the justice system with the protection network.
