| Brief History | Part of the Mofflyn group by 1984. Successor to the Terrace House [see entry] program. In 1984, Kingsway relocated to the Mofflyn campus, pending a review of the service and the location of alternative premises, which were subsequently found and the service relocated to Quarry Street, Fremantle [see entry].
It appears from Departmental records that Kingsway was not being funded through the Consultative Committee on Residential Child Care in 1982.
Mofflyn has its own entry in Signposts, and this should be consulted as it gives more information about the approach taken. |
| Records | It is unknown whether any other records are still in existence.
Departmental case records for young people placed in Methodist programs by the Child Welfare Department may reside with the Department for Child Protection and Family Support.
Records for young people who were resident in Methodist facilities may be held by Mofflyn. |
| Access | While access to records is restricted to protect the privacy of individuals, people are encouraged to enquire. |
