Project: Part 3: Analysis of a Policy

As an astute social worker and professional
policy advocate, once you have selected and identified a social problem,
you begin the process of creating and implementing a policy that
addresses that social problem. One of the first things you do in the
implementation process is an analysis of the social policy you
identified.

In Part 3 of your ongoing Social Change Project assignment, you analyze the selected social policy.

Address the following items within a 2-3 page paper:

• Evaluate the policy’s strengths and weaknesses. What is working? What is not working?
• How will changing this policy affect clinical social workers or the clients of clinical social workers?
• Provide an update on the advocacy activities your proposed in the Week 6 Assignment (find attached).
