Více o knize

The book provides a thorough examination of child welfare schemes, particularly focusing on the migration of 3,500 unaccompanied children from Britain to Australia between 1945 and 1970. It explores the roles of various organizations, including government departments, churches, and charities, in perpetuating these schemes despite documented harm to the children involved. By analyzing the disconnect between British childcare policies and assisted migration practices, it highlights systemic issues within government structures that affected vulnerable populations across various policy areas.
