| Description | This volume contains the minutes of the Boarding Out committee with responsibility for the area around Sutton Coldfield. It is unclear why a separate committee for this area was set up, and the minutes themselves offer no further clues. The committee appears to have discussed issues common to the Union's other Boarding Out committees, such as the welfare of children and their movement into and out of foster homes. Frequent references to the Board of Guardians implies that the committee had close links to it, but the exact nature of their relationship is unknown. The volume is not indexed. |
