Stage 2: Identifying sources of information
Question 5: What types of information are available in order to make an
assessment on the potential impacts of the policy/legislation?
This can be information on issues specific to the policy/legislation, as well as
information on similar issues, policies or legislation. For example, similar policy/
legislation may be used as evidence to show outcomes of advancing or restricting
certain rights.
Question 6: What types of information are missing that would be beneficial to
this assessment?
It may be beneficial to consider whether similar policy/legislation has been used in the
past and whether there were any evaluations. Academic and grey literature (reports,
working papers, government documents, policy documents, white papers, working
papers, conference proceedings) is also useful.
