These records are held by Queensland State Archives.
This series of files contains details about children at Warilda who were placed in seclusion or confinement in response to “disruptive behaviour”. The files contain information such as the child’s name, date of the incident, reasons for the child’s seclusion/confinement, length of time in seclusion/confinement and how often they were checked on in this time, how well they settled afterwards, and any post-seclusion problem solving with the child. The Confinement sheets cover the dates 1983-1986, and contain more detail than the Seclusion sheets (dating 1986-1989) due to a redesign of the form used to record this information.
Access to this series is restricted for 100 years in order to protect personal privacy. To apply for access to these records please contact Queensland State Archives.
