UK Acknowledges Needs of Former Child Migrants in Australia



We at C-BERS are delighted that the Catholic Child Welfare Council in the UK has expanded its services to Child Migrants sent to Australia, building on the excellent work carried out over the last 10 years by Michael Lyons.

Joan Kerry has been appointed as Project Manager for the Australian Former Child Migration Project. A social worker with many years’ experience working in the fields of adoption and fostering and more recently with former Child Migrants, Joan will be mainly working with former child migrants sent through the Sisters of Nazareth.

Her work may include locating information in ledgers; tracing family members and making contacts with them. Joan will be in close touch with the counsellors at C-BERS and will visit Perth from time to time to meet with C-BERS clients in person.

Joan Kerry can be contacted through C-BERS, or directly:
0011 44 1675 434 002; or at:
Australian Child Migrant Project
Catholic Child Welfare Council
St Gerards, Coventry Road
Coleshill, Birmingham B46 3EB UK
