CHARTER FOR WOMEN IN THE NURSING AND PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT THAT the field of local government offers a considerable number of careers for women, particularly those (and there are many) with a flair for social service, does not seem up to the present to have been too well publicised. The National Association of Local Government Officers, the only organization representative of the professional, technical, administrative and clerical staffs of local authorities in England, Scotland and Wales, with no less than 100,000 members, publishes this revised Charter for women in local government with a dual purpose. Firstly, in the hope that it will be of interest and an incentive to women already in the service to aspire to the higher posts within their reach. Secondly, that it may encourage young women about to embark on a career to consider local government as offering an attractive outlet for their ambitions. There are more nursing staffs in N.A.L.G.O. than in any other service organization. This Charter shows in fairly simple form how advancement in status can be sought in work associated with public health and not only lays down a programme with regard to salaries and general service conditions, but also deals with recruitment, training, qualifications and the possibilities of interchangeability. There is no easy road to high office in the local government service, and success comes only to those who are prepared to equip themselves for senior posts by suitable vocational training. The principal objects of the National Association of Local Government Officers are to promote the highest degree of efficiency, and to secure rates of pay which will attract the best possible candidates. 2
