History
Jim McGrath founded NetCare in 2001. He has twenty years
experience across the fields of Social Work, Education,
Youth Offending and Health. He set up NetCare to promote
and develop the Family Group Conference and Restorative
Justice in an effort to create better parental and child
involvement in major decision-making processes.
Jim is firmly committed to
the principles associated with these processes, believing
people need to be more closely involved in community decision-making

workshops and training on his work to international audiences
