Social Services, 1895-1961
'Social Services' includes a variety of areas from schools and teacher training to medicine, public relations and labour.

Before 1909 an Annual Report on Elementary Schools in Sierra Leone was submitted by the Inspector of Schools. The 1944-45 Report on Social Welfare was issued by the 'Welfare Department'. However, until 1951 the Welfare Department was a sub-department of the Education Department. H.A. Nisbet, who was seconded from the Labour Section of the Kenya Native Affairs Department, assumed duties as Labour Secretary, Sierra Leone, on 22 July 1939.
