CHILD GUIDANCE SERVICE
1. General
The pressure of work in the two Child Guidance Clinics has
continued, with additional responsibilities having to be undertaken.
The number of children being referred has continued to increase.
2. Staffing
The Wimbledon Clinic has remained fully staffed, but at Mitcham
Mrs. Windebank, Psychiatric Social Worker, resigned and the vacancy
was not filled by the end of the year.
3. Remedial Classes
The three classes based at Manor House, Malmesbury and Garth
Primary Schools continue to flourish and the services of Miss
Matthews, Peripatetic Remedial Teacher, were supplemented by the
appointment of Mrs. El-Nagdy, who is specially responsible for the
teaching of English to immigrants. Plans for a Remedial Centre are
in hand.
