Instructions

This is a continuation of paper I have attached file below:

The purpose of this policy analysis is to convey your understanding of a particular policy that 

exists to address the social injustices faced by a population served by the organization you 

analyzed in your organizational analysis. This will include the identification of a current policy, 

proposed changes to it, organizational roles in implementation of the policy, and avenues for 

advocacy around this policy. 

Length: About 6-8 pages (not including title page and references, APA style.). Turn in on 

Tevera. 

Assignment Structure 

Social Problem Definition 

Identify a social injustice or human rights violation faced by a client population your organization 

serves. Define why the issue you describe is a case of social injustice or a human rights 

violation. Refer to the NASW Code of Ethics or another definition provided in course readings 

to justify your application of the term to the social issue you describe. Draw on outside sources 

to describe the prevalence of this problem and how the nature or prevalence of the problem has 

changed over time. Argue that you are describing an important social justice issue and that as 

social workers we should pay attention to it. (1 page) 

Current Policy Evaluation 

Describe one current policy (either federal or local legislation, an executive order, or a judicial 

ruling) that is designed to address this social justice issue, and evaluate it. You may focus on a 

particular provision and do not need to take on all aspects of a large, complicated policy. To 

evaluate the policy, address the following issues: 

Page 4 of 9 

• To what extent is the policy addressing the social problem described above? Ex: the 

number of people who gained health insurance after the ACA passed. 

• To what extent is the policy falling short in addressing the social problem? Ex: the high 

cost of premiums on ACA marketplace insurance plans. 

Provide statistics and evidence for your characterization of the current policy. (1-2 pages) 

Policy Implementation 

How is this policy being implemented? Depending on the policy, there could be a number of 

ways you could address this question, including but not limited to: 

• what funding is associated with this policy? 

• how are people or organizations held accountable for adhering to this policy? 

• how does this policy impact the way that services are delivered and evaluated? 

Finally, address whether and how this policy impacts your organization and/or its client 

population? (1 page) 

Policy Recommendation 

Recommend a policy change to better address the social injustice you have described than 

current policy does. This could be a small change, like a change in the eligibility or funding 

levels of current policy (ex. extending eligibility for Medicaid to 200 percent of the federal 

poverty level), or a large change like a completely new policy that would take a different 

approach to addressing the issue (ex. passing the Medicare for All Act). Explain your 

recommendation and articulate reasons, supported by facts and evidence, why the policy 

proposal you have chosen would be the best avenue for addressing the issue in question. (1-2 

pages) 

Advocacy Recommendation 

In order to promote the policy change you recommend, what would it take to make the change 

happen? Describe one specific advocacy strategy that would increase the likelihood of your 

proposed policy change to happen. Consider how you will collaborate with clients to advocate 

for and with them, and to incorporate their voices into advocacy efforts. Also describe 

challenges that may be encountered in trying to advocate for social change and how you might 

problem-solve those challenges. (1 pages)
