International Association of former Child Migrants and their Families

The International Association of former Child Migrants and their Families was launched in October 1997 to provide an organisation spearheaded by child migrants for child migrants.

Do we have to explain it all over again to ensure we can see our families at this late stage of our lives?

The IAFCM&F represents the views and interests of Britain's former Child Migrants and their families by actively campaigning for justice, for appropriate services and by taking part in relevant events including official inquiries, political apologies and cultural exhibitions.

The journal of the Association, "Child Migrant News" is distributed to members world-wide to keep former Child Migrants and their families up to date with current developments in relation to their search for recognition and justice.

  1. To express and promote the common interests of Britain's former Child Migrants world-wide by virtue of their removal from their country of birth.
