GB 0366 CSW 1956-1957 Collection (fonds) 2 boxes British National Conference on Social Work
Between 1950 and 1960, four national conferences were held involving organisations and individuals representing a wide range of social work organisations and activities. The 1957 conference was held in Edinburgh and was entitled 'Children and Young People'. Regional study groups met prior to the conference to discuss questions raised in a 'Guide to Studies'. Members of these were drawn from many different types of organisation and included voluntary and local government social workers, academics, school teachers, church workers, doctors, education officers, and local councillors. They discussed a very wide range of issues and local concerns based on the five main chapters of the 'Guide to Studies': children at home; children at school; young people at work; leisure; and homemaking. Each local group drew up a report on their discussions and many were included in the published conference handbook.

Manuscript and typescript reports from around a hundred local study groups prior to the British National Conference on Social Work, 1956-1957.

These are arranged alphabetically by county, although there is also a key to which particular issues were tackled by each group.
