this is where you get stuck, you need to look for a policy that has a true legislative history. No points will be awarded for papers submitted using Codes as the policy’s origin. • When was the legislation originally proposed? In what setting? (State or Federal? House or Senate?) • Who proposed it? What party? What state? What support did they have? • What happened when the legislation was proposed? (trace votes etc. – be thorough) 16 • Do a historical scan. What significant events were happening in the country at the time the legislation was signed? How might these events have influenced voting and or legislation passage? Part II: Due: March 22nd by 8:00a.m. – add Part II to the corrected Part I Take a deep breath. This is doable. • Use the feedback provided for Part I and CLEAN IT UP. If errors are still noted, Part II will not be graded. From there, elaborate on the following: § How is the policy implemented at your agency (what specific steps are taken? What really happens as opposed to what is intended to happen)? § How are each of the different systems at your agency affected by this policy – provide details (with support)? (Respond in terms of service providers, clients, administration, and community) § Who are the actual beneficiaries of this policy? (are they the same group(s) as those intended by the legislation? Why or why not? Are there any additional groups who benefit? Who might be harmed by this policy?) § What evidence exists that supports your belief about who benefits and about who may be harmed? § Be specific, by factor, what are the bio-psycho-social factors influencing who receives services under this policy, by whom the services are delivered, or how (i.e., agency hours? Accessibility? Location of services? Requirements placed on clients? Service criteria? How workers perceive the policy? How workers perceive the clients? Etc.) § Identify at least one gap that exists in service delivery as a result of this policy at your agency? § How do said gaps or service delivery policies either impede or enhance personal functioning for clients receiving services?  § How do they impede or enhance personal/professional functioning for service providers? B § How would you better structure the policy or bio-psycho-social elements that hinder service delivery in order to address gaps or limitations to receipt of services? 17 § How would you go about advocating for and applying these changes at your field agency? (Think in terms of board approval, organizational structure, forms of communication, etc.) § Who would benefit by these changes? How? Who might be harmed? How? How do you minimize harm? § Conclusion
