What can agencies do?


As far as implementation of our new policy is concerned, we now turn to examining what local groups and agencies can do to help bring about a new policy.

One avenue that could be used is the media:
· News stories on the current issues with the age of consent policy.
· Television and newspaper advertisements about suggested changes to the policy with contact information provided.
· Internet webpages with discussion forums, blogs, and contact information on groups that support the implementation of a new policy.
All of these are methods in which the media could be used to get the attention of the general public, and get them interested in the subject.

Other areas that could be used by an agency are methods of public relations. For example, having pamphlets made with the key arguments for a new policy and information about how to join the agency that supports the new policy. A suggestion box may also be helpful to let the organization know what is working and what is not working as far as implementing the policy is concerned.

All of these are methods in which organizations or agencies can help with implementing new policies, or even new programs to support or educate the public about new policy, or changes to the policy.
