The second page details the implementation of the National Insurance Act 1911, which established a revolutionary healthcare funding system and introduced sick pay for workers.
Highlight: The 'ninepence for fourpence' scheme represented a pioneering partnership between workers, employers, and the government.
Definition: The National Insurance scheme provided workers with 26 weeks of financial support at 10 shillings per week during illness.
Example: Under the scheme, workers contributed four pence, employers three pence, and the government two pence.
Quote: "15 million were covered in the result of sickness."
Vocabulary: Poverty line - The minimum income level needed to maintain a basic standard of living, which Rowntree's research showed to be between seven and eleven shillings per week.
The reforms, while groundbreaking, had significant limitations. The worker contributions often represented half their weekly wages, and benefits didn't extend to family members, leaving many vulnerable despite the new protections.
This page details the implementation of the Old Age Pensions Act and early stages of the National Insurance Act 1911. The pension system provided between seven and eleven shillings weekly, though this proved insufficient for basic needs.
Example: The 'ninepence for fourpence' scheme required workers to contribute four pence while employers contributed three pence and the government two pence.
Highlight: Life expectancy among working class rarely reached 70, limiting the impact of pension reforms.
The page examines the effectiveness of the Liberal reforms, particularly regarding healthcare and employment initiatives. While medical inspections became compulsory in schools, treatment costs remained prohibitive for many families.
Quote: "Even though medical inspection of school children was compulsory, the Liberal reforms to help the young didn't meet their needs overall because the children couldn't get the treatment for free."
Details the Education Act 1906 and Education Act 1907, which introduced school meals and medical inspections. The reforms aimed to improve child health and education but had significant limitations.
Vocabulary: Medical inspections - Regular health check-ups conducted three times during a child's school career.
Example: The Education Act 1906 provided one meal per day to schoolchildren, though this didn't address hunger during weekends and holidays.
Focuses on the detailed implementation of the National Insurance Act 1911 and its impact on workers' healthcare coverage. The act provided sick pay for up to 26 weeks.
Highlight: The scheme covered 15 million workers but only benefited the workers themselves, not their families.
The Liberal Party's landslide victory in 1906 under Henry Campbell-Bannerman initiated a period of significant social reform targeting Britain's widespread poverty. The government focused particularly on vulnerable groups including children, the elderly, and those unable to work.
The Education Act 1906 introduced free school meals, while the Education Act 1907 established medical inspections for schoolchildren.
Highlight: The reforms marked Britain's first systematic attempt to address childhood poverty through education.
Example: Children received one free meal per day during school days, though this didn't cover weekends or holidays.
Definition: The medical inspection system required children to be examined at least three times during their school career.
Quote: "The meals were popular with children and parents as it was guaranteed they would have something to eat at school and could focus more on learning."
Vocabulary: Poor relief - Financial assistance provided to those in extreme poverty under the Poor Law system.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
