The Policy Paper will be expected to propose a program or service or policy in response to the issue, how the policy could be implemented, the positive outcomes anticipated, any barriers and constraints that might be relevant, what resources would be required in the implementation process, how the policy could fit within government programs, any staffing implications, reporting processes, policy evaluation and what are the expected deliverables.
