| Description | Indexed. The first 6 pages show a wide range of dates of boarding out, and it appears that this is because a large number of cases were notified to the area authority in January 1956. Later pages are in order of committee meetings (i.e. in approximate order of boarding out date). Placements are often in Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Staffordshire and Wolverhampton, but there are also many as far afield as London, Southampton, Lancashire, and Swansea.
Columns are: entry no.; details of child: surname, Christian names, date of birth, sex, religious persuasion; details of foster parents: surname, Christian names, address, religious persuasion; date boarded out; type of placing (short/long term, etc.); where child previously living; care authority or voluntary organisation by whom boarded out; by whom supervised; area authority notified; date boarding out ceased; reason for cessation; remarks. |
