Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from National Conference on the Prevention of Destitution: Report of the Proceedings of the National Conference on the Prevention of Destitution; Held at the Caxton Hall, Westminster, on May 30th and 31st, and June 1st and 2nd, 1911 The First National Conference on the Prevention of Destitution, held in London in the week before Whit-Sunday, 1911, had its origin in the feeling that, whilst various sectional conferences existed, there was no opportunity for meeting and discussion open generally to those engaged in the different branches of administration connected with the prevention of destitution. The administrators of the Poor Law have long had their own elaborate system of conferences, national and local; and these Poor Law Conferences have been remarkably successful in affecting improvements in Poor Law administration, and in promoting a knowledge of its principles and its difficulties. But nothing of the kind had previously been organised as a common meeting ground for the members and officials of the municipal and other public authorities, and of the voluntary agencies, whose work is concerned, in various direct and indirect ways, with the problem of preventing, as distinguished from relieving, destitution. The idea of such a National Conference was warmly received all over the Kingdom, and in the comparatively short time which elapsed between the first announcement of the proposal and the holding of the Conference, so much practical support was secured that the total number of delegates and members who attended amounted to 1,111, of whom almost exactly half were formally appointed representatives of public bodies, whilst the remainder were delegates from voluntary agencies and private members. The President of the Local Government Board for England and Wales, and the Secretary for Scotland on behalf of the Scottish Local Government Board, signified the willingness of their respective departments to sanction the payment of the expenses of reasonable delegations of councillors and officers. The President of the Board of Trade approved the attendance of officers of the Labour Exchanges and Juvenile Advisory Committees, and sanctioned the contribution of papers by the General Manager and the head of the Women´s department of the Labour Exchanges. The Conference was organised in five separate Sections, dealing severally with the following departments: - 1. The work of the Public Health Authorities in preventing destitution due to sickness or infirmity or infantile mortality. 2. The work of the Education Authorities in preventing child destitution or child neglect in any of its manifestations.
