Identifying social policy issues

What are the issues in your sector? What are the issues in your organisation? Have you noticed an increase in a particular

demographic or enquiry? What do you want to change? Are you involved in campaigning at the

moment? What are the barriers? Select one issue in your group to focus on

planning a campaign

Building a campaign

What’s your aim? How will you engage your local

community? Who could you partner with? Who already has resources and data you

could tap into? Who do you need to influence?
