Norfolk children's homes and children in care

This guide relates to homes and facilities run by the Norfolk Poor Law Unions (including King's Lynn) and by Norfolk County Council. 

We have separate guides available for Norwich and Great Yarmouth children's homes.

Please note that many of these records contain personal and sensitive information and so are closed to public access.

Where this is the case, it is indicated in the catalogue entry.

If you think that you need access to closed records, please contact us for further information.

Many of these records are not yet catalogued. This is indicated by a reference beginning ACC.

If you wish to view uncatalogued records, advanced notice is required.
