§ Mr. Wigleyasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what proportion of those employed as full-time staff in adult training centres for mentally handicapped people have a formal qualification for work with mentally handicapped people.
§ Mr. NewtonThis information has not been collected centrally since 30 September 1978. At that date 38 per cent. of all staff in adult training centres possessed formal qualifications for working with mentally handicapped people, and a further 3 per cent. had a certificate of qualification from the central council for Education and Training in Social Work.
