HC Deb 22 March 1962 vol 656 c65W
96. Mr. Owen

asked the Minister of Education what steps are being taken to implement the Younghusband Report, and provide training courses, full-time and part-time, for local authority welfare officers seeking the National Certificate of Social Work Training; and whether he will make a statement.

Sir D. Eccles

Two-year courses on the lines recommended in the Young-husband Report started last September at Colleges of Further Education in London, Birmingham and Liverpool. Four more colleges will start similar courses next September. It will be for the Training Council proposed in the Bill at present before Parliament to consider what arrangements should be made for part-time courses.
