Multiculturalism and Diversity in Policy and Programs in Human Service Delivery

To help prepare you for the Unit 6 Assignment, this discussion will analyze multiculturalism and diversity, social justice principles, systemic or institutional barriers, and inequality and poverty as they relate to human service policies and programs. In the Unit 5 Discussion, you researched a program. Now you will research the policy that influences the program.

Please review the sites below to research a policy:

• Library of Congress: Congress.Gov. Retrieved from https://www.congress.gov/
• Child Welfare Information Gateway: Laws & Policies. Retrieved from https://www.childwelfare.gov/topics/systemwide/law…

After finding a policy, please respond to the following:

• Identify the policy you have selected.
• What are the strengths and weaknesses of the policy in terms of how well it addresses multiculturalism and diversity?
  • For example, does the policy specifically reach out to diverse populations or does it ignore or limit the multicultural dimensions of helping?
• On a practice level, and from researching your program, does the program share similar strengths and weaknesses in addressing multiculturalism and diversity?
• How does the program and policy address at least two of the following: social justice principles, systemic or institutional barriers, or inequality and poverty?
