    Introduction
    The Philanthropic Society was founded in London in 1788 and incorporated by Act of Parliament in 1806. The Society aimed to deal with the problem of homeless and criminal children. The central institution was at St George's Fields in Southwark, where the children were employed in various manufacturing activities. In 1849 the estate at Redhill was acquired and new buildings erected, the London property being sold. The Philanthropic Society's Farm School, as it was now known, was organised on the house system. The school was classed as a reformatory under the Reformatory Schools Act of 1854, most of its pupils being committed by magistrates and paid for by local authorities. Farm work was the principal occupation, though other trades were taught.
    Under the Children and Young Persons Act of 1933 the school became an Approved School under the supervision of the Children's Department of the Home Office. Around this time there was a shift in emphasis from manual labour to education in the classroom. The school buildings were severely damaged by a flying bomb in 1944. The Society, which had been under Royal patronage since 1849, obtained its Royal designation in 1953.
    Most of the post-war developments were funded by the Home Office. In 1955 a Classifying School opened at the Redhill site. The country had been divided into four regions, and Redhill received, direct from the juvenile courts, all boys aged between 8 and 17 who had been committed for Approved School training in the south east quarter of the country. The Redhill catchment area was bounded by Norwich, Leicester, Bognor and Margate, but excluded boys from London courts.
    The aim of classification was to identify the most suitable Approved School training for each boy. Classification included medical, psychological and psychiatric examination, aptitude tests and practical work in the farm, gardens, workshops, and kitchen, and in schoolrooms for younger boys. The average length of stay was less than a month, so hundreds of boys passed through the school each year.
    The Special (Secure) Unit, later Intensive Care Unit, was established in 1965 to provide a secure, supportive environment for 30 boys aged between 12 and 17, who, because of behavioural difficulties, could not be accommodated within the Approved School system. The Unit was one of only three such secure institutions for boys in the country and referrals came mainly from London and the Home Counties.
    The 1969 Children and Young Persons Act transferred responsibility for the supervision of schools from the Home Office to the Department of Health and Social Security. At the same time most Approved Schools became the responsibility of a local authority with either Controlled (two thirds local authority managers) or Assisted (two thirds foundation managers) status. At that time the Royal Philanthropic School was one of only three fully comparable establishments in the United Kingdom, the others being Kingswood in Bristol, and Red Bank in Lancashire. Each was a 'campus' establishment with Classifying School, Training School and Secure Unit.
    After much discussion the Society opted for local authority control and approached the London Borough of Wandsworth which was known to be interested in acquiring control of such an establishment. Lengthy negotiations followed leading to the Society handing over control of its schools to Wandsworth in 1973. The Classifying School became known as the Regional Assessment Centre, the Training School became a Community Home with Education on the premises (CHE), and the Special (Secure) Unit became the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The head of each establishment was responsible to the Principal, who remained in overall charge of the institution. The staff were employed by Wandsworth which was also responsible for finance and maintenance of the buildings, while the freehold of the land remained the property of the Society.
    From 1 January 1971, under the 1969 Act, the courts could no longer make Approved School orders and the Schools were absorbed into the residential child care system. Boys with behavioural difficulties were referred to the Assessment Centre for assessment of their needs, usually in terms of residential care. Under the new system the Centre housed 52 boys aged between 10 and 17 who stayed for an average of 6-8 weeks. The Community Home provided care, education and treatment in three house units for 70 boys aged between 13 and 18 who were sent under a Care Order and stayed for 12-18 months.
    In the early 1980s new buildings were erected to house the Assessment Centre with open and secure remand facilities. At the same time Government child care policies changed. It was felt children should be cared for in their home environments rather than in residential homes. Cuts in local authority grants meant there was little money to place children in residential schools and numbers fell sharply. The licence for the Intensive Care Unit was not renewed because extensive building changes were needed. As a result the three units closed in 1982.
    A new facility, the Philanthropic Community, opened in the new buildings. It was to care for adolescent boys from remand through treatment, to independence. The Community was housed in five units. There were two 12 bed units (Mountbatten and Belle Vue) for long term boys receiving treatment and education. The third, Red House, never opened. The remand facilities were in two 8 bed units (Cedar Open and Cedar Secure).
    The removal of the Community Home to the premises north of the railway meant that the farm and all the land to the south were surplus to the needs of the Community run by Wandsworth. The land was sold in 1986, providing the Society with income to set up new projects for children in need. At the same time the Society began to feel, with fewer boys in long term care at the Community, that its resources could be put to better use. This led to the decision to give notice in 1986 to the Secretary of State for Social Services and the London Borough of Wandsworth that the Society would cease to provide the premises for the Community Home at Redhill. The Community at Redhill finally closed in June 1988, the year of the bi-centenary.
    The first new projects initiated by the Society in 1987-88 were in response to perceived gaps in provision for young people leaving care. They were set up in partnership with Social Services Departments and Housing Associations in Surrey, Kent and Wandsworth, where a Bail Support Scheme was also inaugurated. The Society merged with the Rainer Foundation in 1997, becoming known as RPS Rainer.
