The unit orients you to the broad policy issues of poverty, inequity and social exclusion to make sense of the impact on different groups. The critical approach prepares you for engaging in the analysis, design, implementation and evaluation of social policy and the devising of alternatives to formulate socially just policy responses. This unit prepares you for real world policy transformatory practice by extending on knowledge from early policy units to develop analytical and advocacy skills to influence policy decisions and communicate socially just policy alternatives through policy writing, research and advocacy.","title-full":"SWH400 Critical Social Policy and Advocacy","title-short":"Critical Social Policy and Advocacy","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=SWH400&year=2025","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=SWH400","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=SWH400"},"year":2025,"years":[2024,2025]}
