Northern Ireland's Mother-and-baby Homes Panel Announces Findings

BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND - OCTOBER 05: A survivor is seen thanking panel member Prof. Phil Scranton as the Truth Recovery Design Panel releases their report into the so-called mother-and-baby homes in Northern Ireland, at the Stormont hotel on October 5, 2021 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Following the earlier research report into the homes, researchers have recommended that there should be more investigations into levels of infant mortality among children who were born to mothers in the homes. Today the panel announced sweeping recommendations and, along with victims and survivors, called on "all state, religious and other institutions, agencies, organisations and individuals complicit in the processes of institutionalisation and forced labour, family separation and adoption to act without delay in issuing unqualified apologies".
