Social Workers in Contact

The exception, is, however, notable in East Kent and Canterbury where a regular society exists to promote this contact and hold regular meetings, to exchange views, and attempt to solve local problems. The group at times invites visitors from beyond the Mcdway, or even further, and there are representatives ot probation officers, moral welfare workers, almoners, psychiatric social workers, doctors, children's officers, local authorities health and education departments, teachers, N.S.P.C.C., health visitors, unemployment officers, nurses, housing managers, clergy and child guidance clinics staff (this order of course is of no significance). Discussions of this kind are of the greatest value : and disagreements which obviously exist are being resolved more speedily than those between local authorities. Canterbury is therefore to be congratulated, and it would be interesting to know what shape collaboration is taking elsewhere.
