Work of the Voluntary Association.
Visitation.
The Essex Voluntary Association, in return for a grant, continues
to carry out in the Borough the duties of ascertaining and
supervising defectives under the Mental Deficiency Act, 1913.
The Association also visits and befriends defectives who are not
subject to be dealt with under the Act. Special reports for the
East Ham Council, for the Board of Control and for the Visiting
Justices on the home conditions of defectives are also made by the
Association.
The Association during 1926 has visited, befriended and
reported quarterly to the East Ham Education Committee on
feeble-minded children not in regular attendance at a special
school.
The need for an institution for the reception of urgent cases
is very great. Without institutional accommodation it is not possible
adequately to carry out the provisions of the Mental Deficiency
Act, 1913.
