The Church of England is to carry out a review of one of its former homes in Gravesend, where it is claimed children were forcibly drugged.
It follows a 2009 BBC investigation which found a former resident had been given drugs more than 1,200 times, at Kendall House, in the 1980s.
In 2009, Teresa Cooper told Radio 4 the feeling of being injected as a teenager was “like [your body] is just dying”.
The Bishop of Rochester has set up an independent review into the home.
In a statement, the Right Reverend James Langstaff, said: “Over a number of years, a number of former residents have raised concerns about how they were treated during the time they were living at Kendall House.”
