Essentials of Welfare Law offers a comprehensive introduction to the vital role welfare law plays as a safety net in society. Covering homelessness, social housing, the private rented sector, and debt, this book explores key issues such as the definition of homelessness, duties under the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017, and the allocation and requirements of social housing. It also covers the private rented sector, focusing on assured shorthold tenancies, planned changes under the Renters Rights Bill, landlord responsibilities, and the rules on deposits and fees. The book further examines debt relief options like debt relief orders and individual voluntary arrangements (IVAs), and introduces potential career opportunities in welfare law and policy.

Published by CILEX Education, a leading provider of professional legal training and qualifications, the book reflects their commitment to equipping learners and practitioners with the knowledge and skills to excel in the legal profession.
