Assessment Task 1: Policy analysis
Background
For this task, students will select, and then represent, a non-Government organisation (NGO) with an interest in one of the listed proposed policy change issues. Students will assume the role of the NGO’s Senior Policy and Advocacy Officer, and conduct an analysis of the proposed policy change. This will include analysing relevant evidence, identifying political/stakeholder interests, assessing strengths and weaknesses of the proposed changes, and discussing potential implementation issues, as well as commenting on likely impacts on the population group represented by the NGO.
Students will present their policy analysis in the form of an open letter to a key political figure such as the Minister for Health. This open letter from the NGO will attempt to use the findings obtained by the policy analysis (i.e. the stakeholder interests, implementation and impact issues) to persuade the political figure into taking a position favourable to the NGO
