Researching community groups
Identifying groups with within the community, understanding the characteristics and features that unite them as a group, and identifying the needs of specific groups in the community provides a general understanding of the issues facing groups within society. This section explores the issues of particular groups in greater detail. As part of this study it is important to:
- examine how issues impact on wellbeing of the group
- critically analyse how public policy and structures may hinder or support the group
- propose management strategies that ensure the group’s needs are met and access to resources is equitable
- develop plans that preserve the rights of members of the group and promote positive social environments in which the group can live.
The following groups are examined.
