A report into a former Church of England children’s home in Gravesend has revealed years of historic abuse which included sedating children and putting them in straitjackets.
Last Autumn, a review began to investigate a series of allegations about practices that took place at Kendall House in Gravesend.
The report published today (Wednesday) reviewed the home between 1967 and 1986, when it was closed.
During that time over 300 girls between 10 and 16-years-old were referred for placements.
These girls may have been placed in the home by a court order, through social services or by mental health services.
