A brief history on The Children's Society website says that they developed a series of cottage homes rather than large institutions. Information about these Homes is listed on The Children's Society's historical website, 'Hidden Lives'.
The Children's Society gave evidence about its child migration practices to the Select Committee into Child Migration, Legislative Assembly, Parliament of Western Australia (1996).
In their 1998 evidence to the British parliament's Inquiry into the Welfare of Former British Child Migrants, The Children's Society stated they had a 'post-adoption and care service' which included enquiries about child migration. Information about the impact on former child migrants and ongoing service needs was included in the Memorandum tabled in evidence about this service.
