Child Care Officers (Emergency Training College)

HC Deb 26 June 1969 vol 785 cc297-8W

41. Miss Lestor

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will consider establishing an emergency training college for the training of child care officers.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

An emergency course for child care officers was started at the North Western Polytechnic, London, in 1968, and further courses are under consideration. It is more effective to assist established institutions to put on these courses than to set up a special establishment.
