ACAP Learning Resources: JALE3004 Practicum: Report

Report 2023, T3

Some articles about covid have been included in the search suggestions. While these are relevant to the past few years in particular, think about how the arms of the cjs continue their essential work with serious social disruptions in general - next time it could be another pandemic, large-scale natural disaster or a terrorist attack. How do these agencies adapt and ensure continuity? You may include a point or two about this in your assignment response.

Also, remember to look through any annual reports and other documents produced by your organisation.
