appointed Pyschiatric Social Worker has gained sufficient experience in the field. In
addition case work is being done by the Psychiatric Social Workers with the children
at Lea Bridge Road day school for maladjusteds and at Nazeing Park School. Such work
mostly necessitating visits to the parents homes which are scattered over a wide area.
With an increase of Psychiatric Social Worker staff we are glad to record that many
more home visits have been made during the year, when, for various reasons, the parents
were not able to attend the clinic premises. Forty-nine such visits were paid during
the year.
