Collection: Sierra Leone Under Colonial Rule, in Government Reports, 1893-1961 Volumes Social Services, 1895-1961
'Social Services' includes a variety of areas from schools and teacher training to medicine, public relations and labour. The Education Department was founded in 1909 and subsequently legalized by the Education Ordinance of 1911. 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. His duties were to oversee the mobilization and utilization of native labour within Sierra Leone as part of the British war effort. In July 1940 the Secretary of State for the Colonies approved the proposal by His Excellency, the Governor, for the formation of a Labour Department and provision was made in the 1941 Establishment.
