As a policy advisor or lobbyist you need to be able to encapsulate your critical comments and suggestions in a brief face-to-face meeting with the Minister. You will likely have no more than 5-10 minutes with the Minister. If you are a policy advisor you may have stumbled across the opportunity to chat with the Minister in the lift. If you are a lobbyist (from a NGO, not for profit, academic) you may have been provided a brief meeting with the Minister or have just met the Minister at a public event.

Social workers are often employed in positions where they need to be equipped to critically analyse policy and then defend their point. These positions include: policy analysts, political advisors, Ministerial advisors, lobbyists and board members of not for profit organisations. Government policy (public policy) is a complex and dynamic process. Public policy regularly deals with social issues, often intentions are good but the policy or program is poorly implemented, or has assumptions, silences and unexpected perverse outcomes associated with it. Using Carol Bacchi’s What’s the problem represented to be? approach the way the problem is produced through policy is everything. This assessment item is designed to get you to explore this complexity in relation to a selected policy or program.
