In this section, you need to Evaluate the reliability of media information of the policy issue you discussed in sections 1 and 2 and also the  impact of this same policy issue on specific groups of service users.

i.    Using two different organisations, explain the ways that media influences the implementation of this Act (Use examples from the media linked with theory on attitudes to show how this might be successful)
ii.    How might individual beliefs impact positively and negatively on service users when it comes to implementing this Act?

iii.    How might individual behaviour impact positively and negatively on service users when it comes to implementing this Act?
