        <text id="2011101847b3bcebdf544d40a0000231">1.&amp;#x9;In the last three years, how many children have been reunified with their families after being placed under a care and protection order for 12 months, and how many have been reunified after being placed under an order until the age of 18 years?</text>
        <text id="2011101847b3bcebdf544d40a0000232">2.&amp;#x9;Does the Families SA procedure manual require a reunification plan to be developed in all cases in which a child has been under care for a significant duration and is to be returned to their parents?</text>
        <text id="2011101847b3bcebdf544d40a0000233">3.&amp;#x9;Is this reunification plan to be made available to the parents or intended caregiver?</text>
        <text id="2011101847b3bcebdf544d40a0000234">4.&amp;#x9;Whilst I appreciate all cases are different, is there a minimum expectation of services to be made available to families to assist the reunification process?</text>
        <text id="2011101847b3bcebdf544d40a0000235">5.&amp;#x9;In cases where a child under a Youth Court order until the age of 18 is reunified with their parents, what criteria are used to determine whether or not to rescind that order?</text>
