Social Work Milestones Chronological Order

To arrange the milestones correctly, we need to establish the approximate dates for each:

  • (i) Elizabethan Poor Law: Enacted in England in \(1601\). This established early principles for poor relief.
  • (ii) Charity Organization Society (COS): First established in London in \(1869\). Focused on coordinating private charities and investigating cases.
  • (iii) Settlement House Movement: Began in the late 19th century, with key examples like Toynbee Hall (\(1884\)) and Hull House (\(1889\)). Focused on providing services within poor communities.
  • (iv) Medical social work: Emerged significantly in the early 20th century, gaining prominence around World War I (\(1914\)-\(1918\)).

Establishing Chronological Order

Based on these dates, the correct chronological sequence from earliest to latest is:

  1. Elizabethan Poor Law (\(1601\))
  2. Charity Organization Society (\(1869\))
  3. Settlement House Movement (starting \(1884\))
  4. Medical social work (early 20th century)
