In 2010, the photo was reproduced on a Canadian postage stamp commemorating Home Children emigration.]] '''Home Children''' was the [[child migration]] scheme founded by [[Annie MacPherson]] in 1869, under which more than 100,000 children were sent from the United Kingdom to Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa. Australia apologised for its involvement in the scheme; in February 2010 [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|UK Prime Minister]] [[Gordon Brown]] made a formal apology to the families of children who suffered. On 16 November 2009, Canadian Immigration Minister [[Jason Kenney]] stated that Canada would not apologise to child migrants.<ref name="thestar" /> == History == The practice of sending poor or orphaned children to English and later British [[settler colony|settler colonies]], to help alleviate the shortage of labour, began in 1618, with the rounding-up and transportation of one hundred English vagrant children to the [[Virginia Colony]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.goldonian.org/barnardo/child_migrationl.htm|title=A child migration timeline|work=The Goldonian|publisher=Goldonian Web|accessdate=2009-04-07}}</ref> In the 18th century labour shortages in the overseas colonies also encouraged the transportation of children for work in the Americas, and large numbers of children were forced to migrate, most of them from Scotland. This practice continued until it was exposed in 1757, following a civil action against [[Aberdeen]] merchants and magistrates for their involvement in the trade.<ref name="Liverpool museum">{{cite web|url=http://www.diduknow.info/emigrants/media/child_emigration.rtf|title=Child Emigration|last=Anon|work=Maritime Archives and Library|publisher=National Museums Liverpool|accessdate=25 April 2010|location=Liverpool UK}}</ref> The [[Children's Friend Society]] was founded in London in 1830 as "The Society for the Suppression of Juvenile Vagrancy through the reformation and emigration of children". In 1832 the first group of children was sent to the [[Cape Colony]] in South Africa and the [[Swan River Colony]] in Australia, and in August 1833, 230 children were shipped to [[Toronto]] and [[New Brunswick, Canada]].<ref name="Liverpool museum" /> The main pioneers of child migration in the nineteenth century were the Scottish [[Evangelical Christian]] [[Annie MacPherson]], her sister Louisa Birt, and Londoner [[Maria Rye]]. Whilst working with poor children in London in the late 1860s, MacPherson was appalled by the child [[slavery]] of the matchbox industry and resolved to devote her life to these children. In 1870 she bought a large workshop and turned it into the "Home of Industry", where poor children could work and be fed and educated.<ref name="British home children">{{cite web|url=http://www.britishhomechildren.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=190:annie-macpherson&catid=27:sending-agency-founders&Itemid=2|title=Annie Macpherson was a philanthropist who is accepted as the pioneer of child emigration to Canada. |work=British Home Children Descendants website|publisher=British Home Children Descendants|accessdate=24 April 2010|location=Canada}}</ref> She later became convinced that the real solution for these children lay in emigration to a country of opportunity and started an emigration fund.

This was the beginning of a massive operation which sought to find homes and careers for 14,000 of Britain's needy children.<ref name="British home children" /> {{Quote box |width=20em |quoted=true |bgcolor=#FFFFF0 |salign=center |quote=CHILD EMIGRATION TO CANADA The attention of the Dominion Government has been drawn to the fact that the children sent to Canada from England are street waifs and workhouse paupers, and that the professional philanthropists engaged in the work are largely prompted by mercenary and not charitable motives.

The purpose of the society, which later became the Fairbridge Foundation, was to educate orphaned and neglected children and train them in farming practices at farm schools located throughout the [[British Empire]].

It was widely believed by contemporaries that all of these children were orphans, but it is now known that most had living parents, some of whom had no idea of the fate of their children after they were left in care homes, and some led to believe that their children had been adopted somewhere in Britain.<ref name="migrants_ordeal">{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/8360150.stm |title=Ordeal of Australia's child migrants |publisher=BBC News |date=15 November 2009 |accessdate=15 November 2009}}</ref> Child emigration was largely suspended for economic reasons during the [[Great Depression]] of the 1930s, but was not completely terminated until the 1970s.<ref name="migrants_ordeal" /><ref>{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cornwall/8488113.stm | work=BBC News | title=Boys moved after migration stop | date=1 February 2010}}</ref> In 2014–2015 the [[Northern Ireland Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry]] considered cases of children forcibly sent to Australia.

Both reports concluded with a number of recommendations, one of which was a call for a national apology. [[Prime Minister of Australia]], [[Kevin Rudd]] apologised on behalf of the government of Australia on 16 November 2009.<ref>Rodgers, Emma: [http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/11/16/2743742.htm Australia says sorry for 'great evil'], [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation]], 16 November 2009.</ref> As of 2009, there were an estimated 7,000 "Child Migrants" currently residing in Australia. The Australian government had contacted about 400 British child migrants for advice on how the apology should be delivered. Australia's Roman Catholic Church had publicly apologised in 2001 to British and Maltese child migrants who suffered abuse including rape, whippings and slave labour in religious institutions.<ref name="aus_church_apology" /> A £1&nbsp;million travel fund was set up by the British Government for former child migrants to visit their families in the UK.

The [[Ontario Heritage Trust]] erected a provincial historical plaque to the Home Children the year before, in Ottawa.
