File comprised a survey report, advice on improvements to Children's Social Centres and Training for Children's Centres and Cr�ches staff. a) The report on "Survey of Primary School-age Children living around three Social Centres" 1956 was conducted by the Social Research Section, Social Welfare Department (SWD).

The three Social Centres were Mount Erskine, Malay Farm and Upper Serangoon. b) An interim report by Mrs D.F. Atherton, who was seconded to advise on the improvements to Children's Social Centres in 1957, was extracted by the Ministry of Education for the SWD's information and action. c) Various training courses were organised for staff from Children's Social Centres and Cr�ches. The file contained the course outline, training schedules, invitation to speakers, memos to trainees and attendance registers.
