Zaphiriou left us during the year when she returned to Greece, but
Miss Barton came to us as P.S.W. in September, and Mrs. Pagram
joined our staff of secretaries when the appointment was made
permanent. Miss Wicks left us at the end of the year to take up an
appointment in a Residential School for E.S.N. Children, in which we
wish her every success. We are very glad to welcome Mr. Pickett who
is returning to this Clinic as Psychologist in her place at the beginning
of February.
We would like to express our appreciation of the great understanding
and full co-operation of the Ilford Health and Education
Departments, which make an enormous contribution to the increase
of our effectiveness in the community."
