| AdminHistory | With the passing of the Children Act in 1948, some of the welfare responsibilities of the Special Schools Sub-Committee and its sub-sub-committees (see BCC/1/BH/5) were transferred to the newly constituted Children’s Committee (see BCC/1/CT). With a slight reduction in the responsibilities of the Special Schools Sub-Committee (despite the additional work arising out of the management of the Monyhull Residential School and the three Hospital Schools transferred to the sub-committee under the National Health Service Act) the Education Committee decided to amalgamate the Hygiene Sub-Committee (BCC/1/BH/10/1) with the Special Schools Sub-Committee (BCC/1/BH/5/1) and a new standing sub-committee called the Special Services Sub-Committee was founded in October 1949. The orders of reference for the new Special Services Sub-Committee were to consist of a combination of the existing orders of the Special Schools and Hygiene Sub-Committees, as detailed above. |
