In the same manner, it was also been observed that in the Victorian Era,

The children’s protection reforms were brought into the light. Some of the policies that were initiated in the era include The Children Act 1948, by the virtue of these acts different committees, welfare centers were set up, and their work was even appreciated by the masses.
