This Brief takes a look at family reunification knowledge and research in Australia where there is evidence that most children placed in protective care are eventually reunited with their birth parents. It explores how a knowledge of reunification decision making and outcomes can contribute to strengthening practice and informing policy formulation and program planning in Child Welfare.SpringerBriefs in Well-Being and Quality of Life Research,2211-7644Family social workFoster home careFamily social work.Foster home care.362.73/3Fernandez Elizabeth1058239MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910438327003321Accomplishing permanency4187045UNINA
