These Client Files, which comprise three cartons, contain information relating to the child's admission including an admission form which records personal and family details (i.e. name, date of birth, parents' details, etc.). The files may also, but not necessarily, contain copies of Children's Court orders and court reports, correspondence to and from the Department of Youth and Community Services, school reports, reports by social workers, medical reports, case notes, interview notes and case plan recommendations. Some of the children admitted to Stanmore Children's Home were later transferred to one of the Family Group Homes (e.g. Dulwich Hill, Earlwood, Narwee), and there are also files for those children in the relevant group home's records.
