What is the name of Victorian England's welfare laws?

The welfare laws of Victorian England are often referred to as the "Poor Laws." The most significant of these was the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, which aimed to reform the existing system of poor relief by establishing workhouses and tightening eligibility for assistance.
