Assignment Brief:
"THE IMPACT OF GOVERNMENT POLICIES ON THE PUBLIC SERVICES"
Scenario
Still working within Southern District Council's education authority you have been seconded to a working party that is monitoring the impact on public services and their personnel of a variety of government policies (past and present). Government policies have the potential to change people's lives, the most successful UK government policy of the last 30 years is the National Minimum Wage Act 1998 that prevents worker exploitation, has increased competition and moved thousands away from the poverty line.
To achieve P4, you must describe the impact of two government policies on two different public services. For example, if you were to choose the decision to implement ID cards, you could then discuss the effect this has on the police and local authorities (especially considering your knowledge of the HK ID card scheme). You would then choose a further policy and apply this to two services also. M3 is an extension to this, and requires you to fully explain the impact on the public services in some detail. This will require you to show evidence of wider reading and an attempt to draw conclusions to your findings.
Evidence for these criteria will be assessed by a learner led seminar, where you research the policies and the impacts they have on public services, and present this to a small group of your peers. You need to include information in your seminar which identifies how government policies can be influenced by different groups or social factors. You will be prepared for this well in advance but be prepared to ask questions to others in order to test their knowledge for M3.
D2 should evaluate the impact of 2 policies. For example The Smoking Ordinance 1982 and the Road Traffic Ordinance, (what, when & why), looking for positives and negatives, success rates of the policies and the opinions of the public services, this can be done as a reflective report of 750-1000 words. How would you make these policies better? For example, you could improve the Road Traffic Ordinance by including a ban to texting whilst driving and include evidence to support your idea.
Evidence for P5 will be combined with that of P4 as you will be required to identify how society has responded to the proposed policies. You will need to present a valid and justified identification, which must cover both the positive and negative responses, rather than simply your opinion.
