Michael Sadler (1780–1835) was a British member of Parliament when he held hearings, in 1832, into the working conditions of children employed in British textile factories. The stories the children told helped lead to new laws regulating the conditions under which children could be employed.
Moreover, what did the Sadler report do?
The Sadler Report was a report written in 1832 by Michael Sadler. The document purported to expose the substandard working conditions of children working in textile factories as well as women. The Report included testimonies of workers in the factory, who spoke before the Sadler committee, led by Michael Sadler.
Keeping this in consideration, when was Sadler reported?
The Sadler Report – more correctly the Report of the Select Committee on Factory Children's Labour (Parliamentary Papers 1831-32, volume XV): usually referred to at the time as ”the report of Mr Sadler's Committee,” - was a report written in 1832 by Michael Sadler., the chairman of a UK Parliamentary committee
In 1833 the Government passed a Factory Act to improve conditions for children working in factories. Young children were working very long hours in workplaces where conditions were often terrible. The basic act was as follows: no child workers under nine years of age.
