Hosted by the History of Medicine Unit at the University of Birmingham
and the Planned Environments Therapy Trust (PETT) Archive and Study
Centre in Toddington, Gloucestershire, this conference is based on the
work of a 21-month project supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, which
researched and recorded British children’s experiences of residential
care in the second half of the twentieth century.
The conference reaches out to storytellers among former 'disturbed'
children, former staff, and current students to explore the issues of
living and reliving traumatic and disrupted childhoods, and the complex
issues involved in sharing these experiences with the wider world. It is
a conference for historians of child care and of medicine, heritage
professionals, professionals working with children, former children in
care, storytellers, former staff, policy makers, managers,
administrators and parents.
Please note that there are a limited number of bursaries available for
this conference.
