Denna uppsats syftade till att undersöka hur socialsekreterare resonerar kring återföreningsprincipens betydelse för arbetet i familjehemsärenden. I två fokusgrupper diskuterades vad som ansågs vara hindrande respektive främjande faktorer för återförening, samt hur socialsekreterarna ser på sin egen roll i arbetet med familjehemsplaceringar. Mest framträdande främjande faktorer var biologiska föräldrars vilja och förmåga att tillgodose sig stöd och behandling (till exempel missbruksvård), ett regelbundet umgänge samt välfungerande familjehem. Som hindrande faktorer framkom främst barnets anknytning till familjehemmet och samarbetssvårigheter mellan familjehem och biologiska föräldrar. Gällande socialsekreterares syn på den egna rollen framkom en betydande komplexitet bestående av ett samspel med barnets nätverk, familjehemmets nätverk samt övriga samhällsaktörer. Resultatet analyserades utifrån ett anknytningsteoretiskt- och ett systemteoretiskt perspektiv, vilket synliggjorde anknytningens betydelse gällande en eventuell återförening. Dessutom framträdde komplexiteten i det system som omger det familjehemsplacerade barnet, vilket socialarbetaren både hanterar och är en del av. / The aim of this essay was to study social workers’ reasoning regarding the principle of reunification in foster care cases. In two focus group interviews, factors hindering or promoting reunification were discussed, as well as the social worker’s perceptions regarding their own role in the work with foster care cases.  The biological parents’ willingness and ability to receive and utilize offered support and treatment (eg. addiction treatment), continuous contact with their children, and well functioning foster homes emerged as central promoting factors. The strength of the child's existing attachment to the foster parents, and the level of uncooperativeness between foster families and biological parents appeared as most hindering. The social workers' discussions about their own role, highlighted the complexity of handling both private and professional networks in foster care. The results were analysed from both attachment theory and ecological systems theory perspectives, which highlighted the crucial importance of attachment between children and foster parents. Furthermore, the complex adaptive system in foster care work both in which social workers are participatory and by which they are affected.

Moreover, it has been observed that the researcher has successfully contributed in accomplishing the research concern and attaining the effective results – while involving the role of international Humanitarian Law which is used to protect the needs of climate refugees/people displaced because of climate change – also, the UN Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement can be relevant for meeting the protection needs of people who have been displaced because of climate change. Moreover, the researcher has used critical discussion through effective and factful arguments in the literature review to accomplish the research purpose. Moreover, the investigator involved the analytical and conceptual framework which highly plays a significant role in accomplishing the whole research as it included the concepts and theories which is relevant to the research matter. The researcher included IASC Framework on Durable Solutions for Internal Displaced Persons and the social framework of UNHCR in order to give a proper value to the section. On the other hand, the researcher uses secondary research for collecting data along with thematic/content analysis in order to analyze the research with effective concepts and accurately analyzing the collected information. At last, the research concludes that there are various challenges which the internally displaced people are facing due to the impact of climate change but the researcher included international committees – those are taking actions for resolving the issues of IDPs and refugees such as UNEP, UNIHRC, UNEG, IPCC, and IOM – which significantly contributing for the benefits of IDPs and migrants.
