520 # # |a Reunification is a primary goal of foster care systems and the most common permanency planning decision.�It is�defined as the return of children placed in protective care to the home of their birth family and used to describe the act of restoring a child in out-of-home care back to the biological family.� Yet reunification decision-making and the process of reintegrating children into birth families remains under researched. 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.
