When, in 1928, the Joint Board scheme for the association between universities and teacher training colleges was adopted, the University of London adopted a scheme under which it took responsibility for syllabuses and examinations in seventeen London training colleges. The scheme was administered by a Training Colleges Delegacy appointed annually by Senate. This was composed of representatives of the Colleges, the London County Council and the University. It was responsible for the approval of syllabuses, the admission of new Colleges to the scheme and the periodic visitation of member institutions. It appointed an Examinations Council and an Advisory Board to carry out specific tasks. The Colleges themselves were divided into groups, each associated with a 'parent' university college, and each with its own Committee. The Domestic Subjects Group was composed of the National Training School of Cookery, later re-named the National Training College of Domestic Subjects, the National Society's Training College of Domestic Subjects (also known as 'Berridge House') and Battersea Polytechnic Domestic Science Training College. The 'parent' college was King's College of Household and Social Science.
