Payments to ex-residents of a church-run children’s home where girls were routinely drugged, locked up and abused have been described as an “insult”.
Hundreds of girls were sent to the Church of England Kendall House in Gravesend from the 1960s until it closed in 1986.
About 24 former residents have received payments following a review.
The Church of England has apologised. None of the perpetrators of the abuse are still alive.
A review of the abuse at the home was launched by the Bishop of Rochester, the Rt Rev James Langstaff, earlier this year and found it had “broken lives”.
