The document summarizes the history of social welfare in the UK from the Elizabethan period to the mid-20th century. It describes how the church initially provided relief to the poor and destitute through alms and charity. The Elizabethan Poor Law of 1601 systematized relief efforts and divided the poor into categories. Throughout the Industrial period, several reforms and laws were passed to improve conditions for workers and the poor, such as school meal programs and national insurance. The Beveridge Report of 1942 laid the foundation for the modern British welfare state by recommending a system to address want, disease, ignorance, squalor, and idleness.
In U K Christianity played an important role in developing this Social Work concept. Because the Motto of Christianity is to “Love your Neighbor as you love yourself”, which means to be charitable towards others.
Thus today the Social Work has brought a complete change in the Western Societies and has become a Professional Service.

Evolution of Human Services
Introduction
Human service is one of the fields that has continued to evolve over the past ages. This evolution is one of the reasons why policymakers have difficulty dealing with human services (Zins, 2001). To redesign human services to fit the social and academic realms, there is a need to look and understand the history of human services. By looking at the past of human services from the early 11th century, we shall analyze the key advancements that have shaped the field up to the modern-day.
Discussion
11th Century Almshouse
One of the ancient human services from the 11th century is the almshouse. An almshouse or poorhouses are places that are targeted towards helping the poor people. A poorhouse, also known as a workhouse, is aimed at helping people from poor backgrounds that for one reason or another have been unable to pay their rent or have been rejected by their families. Such target groups include widows, widowers, the elderly, and orphans. The origin of poor houses extends from religious groups. Church systems often adopted the poor in the society who could not help themselves. This was later extended to the local authorities and other local officials.
16th Century
By the 16th century, the church and other social institutions were managing human services. However, their provision of services was messy and disorganized. The English government, on the other hand, was repressive and punitive in handling matters of poverty and vagrancy (Kunze, 1971). To sort this issue, the first poor law was set in 1536. This law was further supported in 1547, through taxes that were levied to specifically help the poor in the community. These taxes were further aided in 1576 when the government of England set the rule that the local authorities should provide aid to the poor by the provision of raw materials to aid them in getting work done.
17th Century
The 17th century saw the introduction of the Elizabethan Poor Law. The law was introduced in 1601. The law set a requirement for parishes. The parishes had to select certain overseers for the poor. A minimum of two overseers was required for each parish and the main role of the overseer was to set and collect taxes to help the poor. The tax was collected from the landowners. After collection of the taxes, the overseer was responsible for the equitable distribution of food and money to the poor in the community. The overseer was not paid a salary.
18th Century
In the 18th century, most of Europe was emerging from the Renaissance period. This is a period that saw England rise from a slumber in various aspects including academics. During this period, there was the advancement of technology and psychology. One particular physician, Philippe Pinel, was instrumental in the development of humane ps ...
This chapter examines the historical antecedents of the American social welfare state, examining the early institutions that addressed human needs. The influence of Judeo Christian charity customs is examined, as well as the English Poor Laws which served as an early model for much of American social welfare. These influential eras of social welfare development – colonial America, the Civil War, Progressivism, the Great Depression, Post-World War II, the Great Society – are linked to modern welfare state. The roles of industrialization and the voluntary sector are also examined. Early social welfare leaders who emerged throughout the 19th and 20th centuries created structures that would advance social justice in America, create models for social welfare responses, and champion causes to improve conditions for vulnerable populations.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2. The need to help other people is stressed by the
major religions. During the Elizabethan period
the needy people were helped by the authorities
such charity works are called ‘relief of the
paupers’. The Victorian reformers who were
distressed by poverty, child neglect and other
social ills were pioneers in many of today’s social
welfare service, although they too had called
such service by various other names such as
organized charity or philanthropic work or “relief
of destitution”. The History of social work in the

destitutes.
4. Citizens were discourage from giving alms to the able-
bodies beggars . In 1531 Henry 6 issued license for
begging in restricted areas; punishment was given to
those who violated the law –In 1572 ,Queen Elizabeth
introduced general tax for the protected of the poor and
appointed over seers of the poor. Thus the government
was held responsible for the maintenance of the poor.
The church , especially monasteries played the role relief
centre to the destitute and the disabled. Alms were
collected and distributed by the parish and other clergy
men who knew the individual and his situation. The
churches did not make any efforts to provide any
permanent remedy for improving the conditions of the
poor. Later the responsibility was shifted from church to
the government.

poor families.

that government should minimize its involvement
in any field for any purpose as it well lead to
much dependency . Malthus is of the option that
if there were a lot of free service, this will lead to
the desire for more opinion’. So he
recommended an end to the charity work . As per
the recommendations of the Royal
commission(1832)able bodied continued to work
in able bodied homes and better help for slum
dwellers were provided in 1834.In the Factories
Act(1833) only minimum welfare facilities were
provided to the industrial workers.

strategies to help the needy effectively.
