Training
(a) Attendance at junior training centres.

The older girls at the Hanworth Junior Training Centre are paid monetary
rewards up to 15/- per week for helping in the kitchen and with the nursery class
children within a ratio of one orderly to every 30 places.
Medical inspection and treatment for children attending training centres is provided
in the same way as for children attending primary and secondary schools.
(b) Attendance at special care units.
Certain severely subnormal children are unable because of their unsuitability to
attend a junior training centre. These children may be admitted to a special care unit
attached to the centres. These care units cater specifically for mentally handicapped
children who also suffer from a physical handicap, or are very overactive. These units
provide mothers with much needed relief and measure of habit training for the child.
(c) Attendance at adult training centres.
Adult subnormal and severely subnormal patients from the Borough attend the
Acton Lodge and Brentford Adult Training Centres situated within the London
Borough of Hounslow, and the Kingston Training Centre situated in the Royal Borough of Kingston.
