AT3 Parliamentary submission:
This assessment task requires you to write a submission to a parliamentary committee. Your aim will be to persuade political decision-makers to make changes to the current situation or make suggestions for future action on a specific topic. This is a task that is often required of those working in community health, health promotion or public health in general, especially when there is a health concern directly related to the clientele of that organisation.
What to include in my submission
There are a variety of ways to present a parliamentary submission and this is different with each level of government and type of inquiry. Some set out strict guidelines and others can be more casual in how they want you to set it out. What they all have in common though is that every submission must respond to the Terms of Reference. They usually ask you to identify key problems or issues that need to be addressed and to support these with evidence, which could be in the form of relevant research, laws, policies or findings.
There are choices, you will be choosing to write a submission for ONE inquiry in the list you will find it in the Instructions file.
For this assignment, you are required to present your submission following these guidelines:
1/ Table of contents
2/ Opening paragraphs with an introduction to the main points in your submission (executive summary)
3/ A background to the issue you have chosen to focus on, including an outline of which Terms of Reference you will be addressing
4/ Propose strategies to address your chosen issue
