Cleanliness Inspections.
(See Table D).
A feature of the health of schoolchildren in the Borough
for many years has been the exceptionally low rate of infesta
tionof schoolchildren with vermin. This is now being recognised
by a substantial reduction in the number of school inspections
by Health Visitors for this purpose. Cleanliness inspections
are now carried out in secondary schools only when
they are requested by head teachers. In primary school
regular cleanliness inspections have been discontinued where
at three consecutive inspections, no cases of uncleanliness
have been found but further inspections are made if
requested by the head teacher or it appears that special circumstances
warrant an intensification of this work.
