EALING CHILD GUIDANCE CENTREa
Dr. F. Hoiman, Consulting Fsychiatrist reForts:
dJFatients attending
188 Fatients were referred to the Centre in 1961.
25 children were Flaced in residential schools for
maladjusted children (including those awaiting Flacement
at the beginning of the year) and nine were awaiting
Flacement at the end of the year.
Aston Schoolo
Aston School comFleted its first year of work in
November. At that time there were 21 children on the
register.
Northolt Sub«CliniCo
The sub-clinic, which was oFened at the Edward Road
Health Centre in November, 1960, was in full use throughout
the year. It is much aFFreciated by many families who
would find the journey to Madeley Road difficult, if not
imFossible.
Liaison with Other Services,
Close contacts have continued with the Maternity and
Child Welfare Clinics, the School Health Service, the
Frobation Officers and the Children's DeFartment. We have
had meetings with some of the general Fractitioners, but
still hoFe to become better acquainted with others.
Conclusion,
More cases were referred to the Centre and more seen
than in any Frevious year. The increase in referrals is
largely due to the fact that a third Fsychologist is now
available to take the load.
It will be noted that there has been a great increase
in the number of older children referred to the clinic.
The average age is 14 months higher than in 1960. This is
to some extent, as in I960, because the work with younger
children is informal but for the most Fart reFresents a
real increase in the numbers coming from secondary schools.®
