Is your
selected policy dictated by local or state statute—or
a combination thereof?
How does the policy address
your issue statement? Or what is missing?
What are the
different sections, or components, of the
policy?
How long has the current
policy been in place?
Who supports and who
opposes the policy?
What changes,
or amendments, have been made to the policy?
Explain how this policy
affects clients you might see in a clinical setting and why, as a
clinical social worker, it would be important to advocate for change.
