Abstract
Between 1947 and 1965, 408 children were migrated to Australia under the auspices of the Church of England Advisory Council of Empire Settlement and its successor bodies. Situating this work in wider policy contexts, the article examines how the Council involved itself in this work with support
from some senior clergy and laity despite being poorly resourced to do so. Noting the Council’s failure to maintain standards expected of this work by the Home Office and child-care professionals, the article considers factors underlying this which both reflected wider tensions over child migration
in the post-war period as well as those specific to the Council.
