Policy for Social Workers and Researchers
This guide is dedicated to resources for social work students for critically evaluating policy. Policy is the law, administrative actions, or practice adopted or proposed by a government or administrative body. Policy can take place at the local level, state level, federal level, or international level. In social work, we consider the role and impact of policy on the experiences of persons and populations.
This guide contains information to assist you in finding, accessing, evaluating, and engaging with policy.
