Assessment 3: Ministerial Briefing Note

Often social workers work within government (state or federal) as public servants on the development of policies that have significant impact on society. As a public servant the primary way of informing government decision makers (Ministers or Chief Executives) is through briefing notes. A briefing note, also known as a Ministerial Briefing, is a short document prepared by a public servant that keeps the decision maker informed about issues that they are responsible for. In most cases the turn-around time (from request to submission) for a briefing note is less than 12 hours.

The topic of your briefing note must align with one of the social issues from modules 2-10. In preparation for this assessment please make the most of the assessment support resources on FLO Topic Central.

The word length is brief(if the briefing is longer than two pages it will not be marked and you receive 0%)and so it is important to be concise, focused and persuasive. The briefing notemustbe referenced (using APA referencing guide).

There is a word template that must be used available on FLO. There are also some tips and hints for preparing the briefing note available on FLO. Review the marking rubric requirements available on FLO.

WORD COUNT: no more than 2 pages (references only on page 3)
