Achieving Successful Returns from Care
註釋Reunification has been little studied in the UK but given its place in care planning for looked after children, it certainly deserves greater attention. How can the level of successful returns be increased? What supports are crucial to success? And in what circumstances is return home contra-indicated? There is a real need for up-to-date information to enable local authorities to make informed decisions about when to return children to their parents, and what kinds of services and case management will increase the chances of success. This important and timely study focuses on 180 children, aged 0-14, who were all returned home from care in six local authorities in England. The findings suggest that appropriate assessment, preparation and service are linked to returns succeeding. Lack of appropriate intervention, on the other hand, has far-reaching consequences for children s future well-being and stability.
