THE NATURE OF FAMILY REUNIFICATION SERVICES IN THE GAUTENG PROVINCE
Abstract
Placement of children in alternative care is supposed to be a temporary and not a permanent arrangement. In the absence of a family reunification model in South Africa, most children stay for longer periods in alternative care than necessary. This article concludes that family reunification services should be holistic in order to be effective, which is possible in the framework of a developmental approach.This journal is an open access journal, and the authors and journal should be properly acknowledged when works are cited.
