The Whig Government passed the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, also known as the New Poor Law. The act was described as "the classic example of basic Whig-Bentham law reform of the time." Since it completely replaced the previous legislation of 1601 and fundamentally sought to renew the system of poverty reduction in England and Wales (Poor Law Amendment, 2020). In 1946, "National Insurance Act" ensured to all persons of working age that they had to pay one week after the promise of the week and were entitled to a variety of benefits, including guardian (or orphan) leaves, death benefits , unemployment benefits, widowhood benefits and the retirement pension, however, the program prohibits female workers who have been self-employed and work for battered women (“The Peel Web”, n.d.). The Family Allowance Act was one of the proposals in the beverage report and authorized the Ministry of Social Security to pay 5 shillings to each child in the household up to age 18, and then the money was increased. On the other hand, the Education Law allowed the government to completely reorganize the education system (Huq et al., 2019). A “Welfare Reform and Pensions act 1999” was then introduced into the track. This new act examines the rules, procedures and implications for pensions and social assistance. It provides good guidance to family lawyers in obtaining monetary rewards (Bird, 1999).
These Acts have built up an era where the public could build themselves financially with the support of the government for their betterment and well-being. Equality must be at the center of service provision and must take into account religion and origin. Yes, there has been some progress on diversity, such as the Racial Equality Act, but much remains to be done. The service users have moved from the poor, since they now have much more freedom and rights to influence our work, we must also refuse to allow them to impose guidelines on us if they already do what was done, they do not improve. The rights now benefit the users of the service, but we must ensure that it remains that way. As we work towards practices against equality and the fight against discrimination for all, we must ensure that our values are equal, that we contribute to a more just society by reducing disadvantage and exclusion and promoting equitable access to resources.

Many guidelines and laws were the foundation of what social work is today, and without them social work would be very different.

SECTION B
INTRODUCTION
In this essay, I would demonstrate the founding principles of the welfare state which were laid down in the Beveridge report and compare this with a later approach to welfare considering the change in ideology. Elizabethan era, which emphasized the idea of social reform and adaptation to the needs of the poor relates to the welfare system of England and Wales. Elizabethan Poor Laws dealt with collecting taxes and allowing communities to care for those in need in the area. Due to the area wise variation in community coverage, some poor people received fewer benefits than others. After World War I, however, the need to improve the welfare system was deeply felt because Elizabethan laws were inadequate (Poor Law Amendment, 2020). This essay would discuss about the discoveries of the EU Fifth Framework Project considering the social issues and difficulties faced by humans and the governments move to find solutions for them.
