Abstract
This chapter continues the examination of how variations in advocacy provision within FGCs may empower, as well as potentially disempower, young people and their families involved with the intervention. As with the previous chapter, it reviews FGC and FGC Advocacy practice across a broad range of social sites; however, the focus is different here as it is concerned more with how power can be seen to be transmitted through the practices of FGC and FGC Advocacy. Therefore, a framework of theories that differ from those used in the previous chapter and that are associated with understanding power and its exercise is appropriate for this analysis and critical reflection.

- 1.
Recent research in this area by Rogers and Parkinson (2017) explores the potential for FGC to be a very positive influence in these matters, empowering rather than disempowering the victims of domestic violence.
