These records are held by Professional Standards Office Records Service of the Catholic Church (c. 1997 - current).
The Professional Standards Office Records Service of the Catholic Church holds a number of folders containing information relating to individual former residents of a number of Homes run by the Catholic Church. The contents of these folders vary. Some contain little or no information but others may contain items such as admission forms, maintenance and general correspondence and index cards. A small number may also contain Baptismal certificates and some social work case notes.
Please contact the Professional Standards Office Records Service for an application form and information regarding procedures and conditions with regard to accessing information from records held or managed by this office.
Information is open to former residents or family members who can prove their relationship to the resident.
The Professional Standards Office does not charge any fees to former residents of Catholic Homes seeking their records.
