Presbyterian Social Services
These are casework files for all youths who have resided at 'Kyle Williams', 'New Anchor' and 'Cornerstone' since 1988. The files contain information about the youth including: name; date of birth; names of parents and siblings; family background information; reason for entering the residential unit; referral details; counselling information; case conference notes; etc.
Access to information contained in these records is restricted to the person to whom the information relates. As many of the residents have been wards placed by the Department of Community Services, access is usually granted after consultation with the Department. Access is generally supervised, and the client provided with some preparatory counselling.
