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. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Well-Being and Quality of Life Research,$x2211-7644 606 $aFamily social work 606 $aFoster home care 615 0$aFamily social work. 615 0$aFoster home care. 676 $a362.73/3 700 $aFernandez$b Elizabeth$01058239 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438327003321 996 $aAccomplishing permanency$94187045 997 $aUNINA
