SUMMARY
In this paper – Improving Reunification Practice: Pathways Home, Progress and Outcomes for Children Returning from Care to Their Parents - Professor Elaine Farmer analyses the outcomes over a period of two years for 180 children from 141 families who were returned from care to their parents in six local authorities.
Farmer draws on a Department for Education-funded study of children who were aged 16 or under two years after they were returned from care. Case records and interviews were used to build a picture of outcomes. Two thirds of the children, who had experienced neglect before entering care, were followed up for a further three years.
