The 'Welfare Reform Act 2009' received Royal Assent on 12 November 2009. This Act amends the law relating to social security and reforms the welfare and benefit system to improve support and incentives for people to move from benefits into work. It includes measures to increase personal responsibility within the welfare system.

The Act will also provide more employment choices for people with disabilities. It confers regulation-making powers that can be used to give adult disabled people greater choice and control over the way in which relevant services are provided by relevant authorities.

The Act also provides encouragement of parental responsibility by introducing a requirement for joint birth registration and by amending the law relating to child support.

Explanatory notes to assist in the understanding of the Act are available to purchase separately (see below).
