My school years were from 1957 to 1968 and during this time frame very little changed with regard to the policy in corporal punishment. The swinging sixties it might have been but attitudes to the cane had changed little since the war. From my own research, there was a significant minority of authorities who had an outright ban on corporal punishment for girls. At the same time, there were also a similar number of authorities who had no specific rules for this matter. However, the majority did have specific limitations or restrictions on the punishment of girls. This could either be in the form of restricting any such punishment to the hands and/or in laying down proscriptive circumstances where corporal punishment could be given to girls.
