| Brief History | The WELSTAT (welfare statistics) Collection of 1979 notes Terrace House as a ‘scattered group home’ (ie. “a family group home whose grounds do not adjoin those of another family group home, or other residential child care establishment, operated by the same enterprise.”) that was operated by an agency other than the Department. At the same time, Terrace House was also identified as a hostel, ie “a residential child care establishment mainly for children aged 15 and over who have left school...[providing] some care, protection, control, corrective treatment or detention, as well as full board”.
Relocated to Kingsway in 1979 (for up to 12 residents), which was itself succeeded in 1985 by the Quarry Street Program in Fremantle. See separate entries for Kingsway and Quarry Street in Signposts. |
