Regulations dealing with the Employment of Children at Entertainments,
and certified fit for participation in such employment.
During school medical inspection no children were discovered
whose health was considered to be adversely affected through
employment outside school hours.
Arising out of the Administrative Memorandum issued by
the Board of Education, the Education Committee have approved
arrangements for effecting co-operation between the School
Medical Department and the Juvenile Employment Committee so
far as concerns the question of giving advice in regard to the
unsuitability of children for particular types of employment. In
this connection the Committee have directed the attention of the
Board of Education to the lapse of two years which normally
takes place between the date of the last routine medical inspection
of scholars and the date of attaining the school leaving age.
All children in their final medical examination prior to leaving
school have a note placed on their medical record card if
there is any special defect likely to affect the choice of employment,
and parents are interviewed and advised.
