Home Again: Reunification Practice in England

NSPCC, Action for Children

Understanding reunification practice in the children’s social care system in England
 

This report aims to shed light on:

  • what guides reunification practice
  • how decisions are made before and after reunification
  • what support for reunification looks like
  • how reunification practice is monitored and improved.

The research team conducted an England-wide online survey of local authorities, with 75 responses. Alongside this, researchers conducted in-depth interviews with senior staff from six local authorities to discuss their approach to reunification practice.
