Jackson Report

The Jackson Report was a detailed study conducted in 1948 to evaluate the effectiveness of the British welfare system, especially its ability to support the poor and unemployed. It examined existing social services, government policies, and administrative processes, aiming to identify areas needing improvement. The report recommended reforms to make welfare more efficient, accessible, and fair, highlighting the importance of integrating various social services and ensuring better support for vulnerable populations. Its findings influenced post-war social policy development in Britain, shaping efforts to create a more comprehensive and equitable welfare system.
