Ordeal of the UK's child migrants
On arrival in Australia, the policy was
to separate brothers and sisters.
And many of the young children ended up
in what felt like labour camps, where
they were physically, psychologically
and often sexually abused.
In testimony before a British

abuse he was subjected at the hands of
Catholic priests at Tardun in Western
Australia.
