| Administrative / biographical background: |
Supervision of area offices was achieved by regular visits of the appropriate Regional Office team, who carried out a general inspection of all aspects of the work and conditions in area offices within their region. If follow-up action was required, the appropriate steps were taken by the Regional Office. Copies of the reports of these general inspections, giving advice and recommending follow-up action on cases as necessary, were sent to the National Assistance Board's Headquarters, who were thus able to exercise overall control. Headquarters themselves also sent inspectorate teams to investigate staffing requirements and audit teams to investigate financial matters. |
