Description:

As social workers, we are mandated to be aware of the history, the current structures, and the role of social policies and services. We advocate for multiple policies that improve human rights and social, economic, and environmental justice. We seek change for the policies that do not concern the well-being of our community.

Practice Behaviors:

• Advocate with and inform stakeholders to impact policy change
• Develop and implement a policy and/or advocacy plan

 

5A Evidence: Advocate with and inform stakeholders to impact policy change

Course: I was able to create a research proposal paper, with a few of my colleagues, that addressed family involvement and engagement programs at Hardy Elementary School. During this assignment we created a Stakeholder Analysis that explained how we intend to include the stakeholders that would be present.

5B Evidence: Develop and implement a policy and/or advocacy plan

Course: During my graduate year, I was able to create a Policy/Advocacy Action Plan. This plan addressed Human Trafficking issues & what possibly solutions there could be.
