UK History

In Victorian England, laws were created by the British Parliament, which consisted of the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The monarch, Queen Victoria, also played a role in the legislative process by giving royal assent to bills passed by Parliament.

Adultery in the Victorian era was considered a serious moral offense, but legal consequences varied. The punishment could include public shaming, divorce, loss of reputation, and in some extreme cases, criminal prosecution under the Contagious Diseases Acts. However, the severity of punishment often depended on social class and gender.

because they needed money and nearly every body was pooreven the children had to work in the factory. They were treated really badly...

In Victorian schools, punishments included caning, standing in a corner, writing lines, detention, or wearing a dunce cap. Corporal punishment was common and often administered for even minor infractions. Teachers had a great deal of authority to discipline students as they saw fit.

It became legal to join a trade union in Britain with the Trade Union Act of 1871. This legislation provided legal protection for trade unions and their members.

School became mandatory in Victorian times with the passage of the Elementary Education Act of 1870. This legislation aimed to provide elementary education to all children aged 5-13 in England and Wales. It marked a significant shift towards compulsory education for all children.

Street children in Victorian times often begged for money or food, scavenged for scraps, and may have resorted to stealing to survive. They were often without proper shelter or adult supervision, making them vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. Some street children found refuge in charitable organizations or institutions established to provide them with food, shelter, and education.

The Upper and upper middle class Victorians did not work; they would inherit their money from relatives. If they did have occupations it would be that of business or land owner (ei. an owner of a cotton mill). They would enjoy lavish parties, music and food would be their main enjoyment. Would have a great number of servants. Upstairs maids, parlor maids, ladies maids, valets, butler, coach drivers, groundskeepers, gardeners, cooks, housekeeper, governess and nurse (if they had children). Approx annual income £5000 to 30,000

There were also middle and lower middle class families, these were Doctors, lawyers. They would enjoy some of the same things as the upper class but not to such an extent and would not be involved in as many parties and circles. Would not have as many servants; a cook, house keeper.

Approx annual income £100-1000

The Lower class which was a focal point of Charles Dickens who were hard labour workers, factory hands etc. They either did not have any servants or were servants themselves. Approx income 3s 6d /week.

The Victorian era was one that was marked by the separation of classes and socialization would have been different within the various classes. The people may have frequented the same activities but had separate entrances and exits. Some events they may have went o would have been musical performances or sporting events. Literature was also a common leisure activity among the classes.

Social upheaval and mass migration contributed significantly to the evolution of social work in the UK. The populations of cities were increasing dramatically during the industrial revolution, and many people were afflicted by poverty and diseases. The UK government responded by offering free treatment in hospitals, and hospital almoners were recruited to help in the treatment of patients. These almoners were regarded as social workers, and their roles began to include other social responsibilities in the following years.

Social work has come a long way to become an important profession in the modern society. The scope of responsibilities of social work has become wider over the years, and social workers require more extensive training to perform their duties effectively. As social problems grow in the modern society, social work will continue to gain importance around the world.

All English law evolves over the years as it is a common law as opposed to civil law system. That is to say it is based on judges and courts interpreting facts an handing down judgments where no law already exists or is ambiguous. These judgments form a body of cases the decisions of which are "binding" on junior courts based on precedent or "stare decis". If the circumstances are the same the following court must follow the finding set down, only if the circumstances are different can it deviate. This is in contrast to civil law where everything is set down in statutes and codes.

The mass industrialization in Britain opened a Pandora' Box of social problems connected to the period. These included mass poverty, a lack of education of the masses, social problems such as alcoholism and child labor. Social responsibility by the upper classes treated the solving of these problems as a duty because of their elevated social status. In general, this involved providing direct help or that administered via the social agencies for those less privileged as a result of the rigid class system of the time.

In Britain, work houses were introduced after the Poor Act. Originally, the poor of an area was the responsibility of the parish (i.e. the church), and were cared for using donations from local parishioners. Clearly, the standard of care for people varied wildly, with some people housed in monasteries and convents, while others were more or less left to starve.

After the industrial revolution, huge numbers of people flocked to the cities to man the machines in factories. This left the small parishes unable to cope, and so the Poor Act established workhouses as prisons for the poor. And prisons they were: they were almost always segregated, keeping husbands, wives and children apart under pain of strict punishments. Beatings were common, and food and rations were so poor that inmates frequently starved. An oft-quoted example is Andover Workhouse, where food was so scarce that inspectors found inmates in the mortuary eating the bone marrow of their deceased peers!

Victorian Britain spoke English, predominantly with a British accent specific to the time period. The language was formal and polite, with a focus on proper grammar and enunciation. Regional dialects and slang also existed among different social classes and regions.

A Victorian street sweeper would typically wear a heavy and dark-colored outfit consisting of a long coat, trousers, boots, and a hat for protection from dirt and debris while working. They may also have worn gloves to shield their hands during their street sweeping duties.

Poor Victorian children faced harsh living conditions, often living in overcrowded and unsanitary slums. Many were forced to work long hours in factories or as chimney sweeps to help support their families. Education was limited, and basic necessities like food, clothing, and shelter were often lacking.

One key figure who improved the lives of poor Victorian children was Dr. Thomas Barnardo. He established the charity Dr. Barnardo's, which provided shelter, education, and opportunities for disadvantaged children. Barnardo's work helped to address issues of child poverty and exploitation during the Victorian era.

Most children in Victorian England never went to school. They were taught at home and sent out to work to help support the family. School became mandatory in 1880 and children went to school until they were 10.

Poor Victorian houses were typically constructed using inexpensive materials such as brick, wood, and corrugated iron for the roof. Interiors were often lined with basic plaster walls and floors made of simple, untreated timber. These houses would have had minimal decorative elements and would lack the ornate fixtures and finishes found in wealthier homes.

Coal miners in the Victorian era were paid low wages, typically earning around 15-25 shillings per week. The work was extremely dangerous and the conditions were harsh, leading to widespread poverty among coal miners and their families.
