Rose Mary Braithwaite (1914-2012) worked in the probation service. Her work was pioneering at a time when few women were able to break into the professions.
Early life
Braithwaite was born on May 8, 1914.[1] Her parents were William Braithwaite, an architect of Lloyd George's National Insurance Act 1911, and Lilian who worked as a care committee worker on the London county council.[2] She grew up in South End Road, in Hampstead. She went to Godolphin School in Salisbury.
In 1933 she spent a year learning German in Germany. She arrived in Germany on the day the Reichstag building was burnt down and saw the effect Hitler was having on German society. [citation needed]
She returned to Britain to study at the London School of Economics, where she first studied economics before switching to take a two-year Social Science Certificate.[3]
Professional life
She became one of the first probation officers appointed when the United Kingdom Home Office took over the service in 1939.[citation needed]
She started at the juvenile court at Toynbee Hall, in the East End of London. She then moved to Somerset where she was tasked with helping people from London who were getting into trouble during World War II.[1]
She went to the United States to study casework practice in 1946[4][5] and returned in 1948 to study at the New York School of Social Work.
In 1954, she was a supervisor for the first applied social studies course taught at the London School of Economics.[6] In 1956 she was named an assistant principal probation officer in the London probation service where she oversaw training from 1960 until 1965. She later taught at Bedford College, London.[2]
In 1972 she returned to the London School of Economics and worked on a project investigating what she called the "Carnegie Resurrection Project".[6][more detail needed]
She retired in 1974.[2]
Other Activities
She was one of the founders of the Harington Scheme in Highgate, north London, a program that trained people with learning difficulties in horticulture.[7] She was chair of the Time and Talents Community Centre in Rotherhithe, south-east London. She was a member of the Highgate Literary and Scientific Institution.[citation needed]
