Scenario

You are working as a Health Promotion Officer (Nutrition) in a local council. Choose one of these two nutrition issues: food sustainability or food insecurity; and write a report for the Council Executive to review existing strategies and propose a new strategy to address this issue in the local government area.

As you are a junior member of the team, you work closely with a mentor – a colleague who has been working in the area for about five years. Your mentor offers to read and provide feedback on components of your report draft.

You may choose to situate your position anywhere in Australia. At a minimum you should identify the state or territory within which you are working, and whether it is in a metropolitan, regional or remote area, but you may choose to name a specific local government area if you wish.

Task

Here is a suggested report structure to guide your writing:

a) Introduce your report, including a brief definition and discussion of the prevalence and causes of this issue. Include clear identification and justification of the specific issue / target group / population that your program aims to address.
b) Discuss briefly why this is considered a public health nutrition issue relevant to the municipality, and why a public health approach to address this issue is important.
c) Review two programs/initiatives to address this public health nutrition issue, focussing on critical analysis of relevant strengths and limitations of those initiatives.
The initiatives you review do not have to be currently operating and do not need to have taken place specifically in your area, but you must explain how they are relevant to your target group. At least one of these must be an initiative which was not discussed in the unit materials.

d) Propose one strategy to address this public health nutrition issue based on your above review of two programs. You should provide an overview of a strategy and state explicitly how it builds on the strengths and limitations of the programs you discussed in your review. Include brief discussion of some likely strengths and limitations of your proposal, together with a brief conclusion.

Submissions

Part 2: Report (approx. 1750-1800 words): Due Thursday 13th September, 5.00pm AEST See Task overview above.

Part 3: Analysis and reflection (approx. 200-250 words): Due Thursday 15th September, 5.00pm AEST To be written in FIRST person – use ‘I’ statements. To be submitted at end of report.

i) Briefly identify the most useful aspect(s) of the feedback you received on your draft and explain how you used this to develop or improve your final report.
Write an analysis of what you did once you received feedback to improve your skills, writing and the report quality – the point of this is not to explain in detail how you rewrote sentences, but rather to describe the actions you undertook to improve your report (e.g. further research, utilising learning resources) and how you feel it has improved the quality of your work in relation to the rubric assessment criteria.
