Policy Making Tips• Make sure you have a clear understanding of the issue or
problem
• Be realistic and practical
• Be creative in your solutions
• Carefully consider all of the groups that both influence and are impacted by policy decisions
• Think carefully about what problem your policy responds to - why is your policy the best way to respond to the issue?
