national campaign.
To sum up — the aims of the Health Education Service
are threefold:—
To assist in planning syllabuses which are meaningful
to school children at various stages of development
To teach, by involving the group in projects, through
discussion groups and by providing the stimulus to
seek further information
To provide information on teaching aids and other
educational methods
There has been a close and happy liaison with Head Teachers
and Staff of all the Schools, with the medical staff and health

welfare undertaken by its members. The following is a summary
of activities during 1966.

Casework with Parents 3
Grant towards television licence 1

Chiropody
During the year 119 school children were referred to the
Clinics for treatment (mostly for Verrucae) but many parents

Perhaps when Staffing permits this service could be extended
to include regular foot inspection's of a particular age-group
by a Chiropodist either at the Schools or Clinics.
