The Reunification Vale initiative was developed to support families in reuniting safely and sustainably, with a strong focus on ensuring the long-term wellbeing of children and young people. Rooted in a trauma-informed and relationship-based approach, the initiative brings together professionals across services to create tailored, consistent support plans that enable children to return home from care when it is safe to do so.

This case study highlights the key outcomes achieved to date, including strengthened family relationships, reduced placement breakdowns, and increased confidence among practitioners. It also outlines the challenges encountered during implementation, such as navigating complex family dynamics and ensuring continuity of support, and shares valuable lessons learned to inform future practice.

The Reunification Vale is an excellent example of the kind of impactful, collaborative work made possible through Regional Partnership Board (RPB) funding. The full case study can be accessed here.
