SOCIAL WORK PAPER

Please answer the following question. Remember to cite the textbook and/or the class lecture (and any other sources you reference) using APA format. While there’s no page requirement, make sure to answer the question completely (hint: it’s difficult to do this in just one paragraph).

Choose a policy, practice, guideline, procedure or form related to social work or social welfare. For example, an intake form from a social service agency or a piece of legislation that might impact vulnerable populations. Then apply the following questions (which are part of an Anti-Oppressive Equity Lens) to your chosen policy.

1. What is the intended impact of this policy, procedure, practice structure, form and/or guideline?

2. Does this intention take into account difference based on social location so that all groups can attain the same outcome?

3. If no, then suggest possible:

· Changes to the existing policy

· Additional policies, procedures, outcomes, practices, forms or structures that can be created to ensure equitable outcomes

· Further inquiry, research or consultation that may be required to determine what inequities, if any, exist and how to resolve them

· Reasons that this policy cannot be made fully equitable at this time
