Characteristics of the Training Councils in the 1960s: the Seebohm ReportYs Recommendations on Training; and the Early Days of the Central Council for Education and Training in Social Work
Abstract
The pressure for expanded training in the 1960s would have faced overwhelming obstacles from piecemeal and slow development and more uneven standards if it had not been for the initiative, standard setting and support services of the training councils - the CTC, the CTSW and the Training Committee of ACPAC. The Institute of Medical Social Workers (IMSW) and the Association of Psychiatric Social Workers (APSW) also played important parts in training. None the less there were obvious disadvantages in all these separate activities.
