POST ENTRY TRAINING
Many courses held during 1967 were found to be of great interest
and value to members of the Health and Welfare staff. Some
courses and conferences have now become firmly established and
these are regularly supported each year whilst others are newly
organised, when appropriate, to facilitate the consideration and
discussion of topical issues.
Four Social Workers and two members of staff from Training
Centres were seconded on full-time study courses of one or two
years' duration, commencing Autumn 1967, and leading to professional qualifications.
In addition to the courses listed below, the department was
responsible for training 6 student Public Health Inspectors, 7
student Health Visitors and 8 student District Nurses employed by
this authority. "In-service" training courses were provided for 11
Child Helpers and 14 Home Helps.
