The Forgotten Children, Ten Years On (ARC Linkage Project administered by The University of Sydney) (2024-2027)

This project aims to investigate the rippling impacts of immigration detention in the lives of people who were detained as children. Utilising an innovative arts-based, person-centred design, and in partnership with Australia¿s national human rights institution and children themselves, the project aims to generate a foundational evidencebase that advances knowledge and provides the basis for improved policy and practice. Addressing the current dearth of evidence concerning the long-term impacts of childhood detention, the project will offer critical recommendations to improve services and reduce harm, while fostering increased public awareness through a high-impact radio documentary that tells the stories of Australia¿s forgotten children.
