| ACCESS TO BARNARDOS ADOPTION RECORDS BY ADULT ADOPTEES |
|---|
| Despite the fact that it now has as its president our most famous human rights lawyer, Cherie Booth QC (aka Mrs Blair), Barnardo's policy on access to records remains unpleasant, nasty and unnecessarily restrictive in comparison to almost every other children's charity. In the first 60 years of the last century Dr. Barnardo's Homes did much wrong to many children and their families, it took children and sent them away from their families often halfway across the world. It separated siblings here at home. It often lied to the children and lied to the parents. |

| Since 1869 NCH has cared for tens of thousands of children who spent all or part of their early lives at NCH homes in England, Wales, Canada and Australia.
The NCH holds personal information on most people who lived in an NCH Home. Knowing who you are and where you come from is important to everyone. NCH has always been happy to share information with anyone who requests it, and because we are committed to openness and recognise the importance of family identity we are very happy for former residents to have access to any personal information we may hold concerning them. |

| Patomime Songs |
|---|
| The traditional ending to any Pantomime the songsheet survives as one of the most traditional parts of a British Pantomime. It evolved to allow the stage management time to set up the Finale, or Walkdown as it is known- the Who's Best parade at the end of the show where the entire company take their calls.
As Finales became grander, so the songsheet was essential in providing enough time for the set to be put up, the staircase placed centre stage, and for the cast to change into their most splendid costumes. Managers long ago realised that the last thing an audience sees, before it departs into the night, is the overwhelming and lasting impression they take home with them. |
