The Protestant Federation Children’s Home (PFCH) records is a collection of records created by the Protestant Federation Children’s Home.
The records include:
In 1980, at the closure of the Protestant Federation Children’s Home, Church of England Homes relocated the children and took custody of the home’s records. Some of the children who had been at PFCH entered care with Church of England Homes. In these cases, their records from their time at PFCH may have been incorporated into their Church of England Homes records. In these cases, please contact Anglicare for access to the Church of England Homes records.
In July 2025, the records of the Protestant Federation Children’s Home were transferred to the Department of Communities and Justice and are available through the Care Leavers Records Access Unit.
