Full description

These are the registers and diaries of the daily routine of the Inspector, School Attendance Officer and Probation Officer, Neglected Children and Juvenile Offenders Act in the State Children Relief Branch of the Department of Public Instruction.

The diary is a daily record of the cases of non-attendance, neglected children, etc., examined by the Inspector, and his recommendations and remarks on each case. Each entry gives the date, details of any previous work respecting the case, notes and directions, the name of the child visited, his guardian and residence, classification of the case, the case file number, and whether state relief is to be given. The expenses incurred by the Inspector, and the time taken visiting each case are also given.

When a country inspection was made, the report was placed in the diary at the appropriate part. This report includes the same information as the report described. The country reports in use from August to December 1920, and all reports after 1920, include a statistical summary of the cases visited.
