Campus Homes

For much of the 1970’s, the private residential care establishments were not mentioned in the Annual Reports of the Department.  However, following the establishment of the Consultative Committee into Residential Child Care, there once again was some (albeit limited) consideration of the status of children in facilities not operated by the Department.  One of the more centralised models of residential care, which were neither treatment nor educational institutions were Campus Homes.  Campus Homes were defined as “those which have a centralised administration and consist of a group of dwellings.  For statistical purposes they are treated as a single establishment.”  Annual Report of the Department for Community Welfare, June 30th 1979.
