Ability to demonstrate social work advocacy skills particularly for vulnerable individuals, through the formulation and construction of the Policy Proposal.

ASSESSMENT 3: POLICY PROPOSAL BRIEFING PAPER
Students will be required to identify a problem, improvement or new initiative in one of the two Policy areas (two areas Family and NDIS) studied in class, and develop a Policy Proposal Briefing Paper that could be presented to an agency or government department Director, or Ministerial staff, to address this identified issue.
The Policy Paper will be expected to propose a program or service or policy in response to the issue, how the policy could be implemented, the positive outcomes anticipated, any barriers and constraints that might be relevant, what resources would be required in the implementation process, how the policy could fit within government programs, any staffing implications, reporting processes, policy evaluation and what are the expected deliverables.

Whilst it is not usual to reference policy briefing papers, as this is an academic exercise you will need to reference where appropriate and provide a reference listing as well.

1.Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality: Replace hardcoded strings “Zero”, “One”, “Two”, “Three” in the ArrayList based on user typed input (use Scanner or JOptionPane classes). The user will be prompted for the String to be stored in the ArrayList and then hit enter. The user will be able to continue to add items to the ArrayList until they just hit enter without typing anything. Once the user does this (hits enter without typing anything), the program will display all of the elements of the ArrayList, both the index and String values, in a table. It will do this via a single loop making use of an iterator method. 2. Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality: Use a Try/Catch block so that the exception is caught and the program exits a bit more gracefully. Save this file as TryCatch.java.

Chapter 2 I Trait Approach 33 CASE 2.1 Choosing a New Director of Research Sandra Coke is vice president for research and development at Great Lakes Foods (GLF), a large snack food company that has approximately 1,000 employees.
