The social worker responsible for the child's affairs assesses whether the child can be placed with a family close to the child. The placement must be in accordance with the child's needs and best interests. The social worker and family carers support the child to stay in contact with the parents and other people important to the child. It is also the duty of the social worker and family carers to promote the reunification of the family, that is, the return of the child to their parents. Foster care services professionals support and supervise the foster family during the placement. We regularly assess the situation of the child and the family through joint negotiation meetings.
