Health in All Policies (HiAP) is a public health movement and policy approach that contributes to the improvement of population health, equity, wellness and improved policy outcomes across participating sectors. This unit outlines how and why HiAP was established and what benefits it has had on promoting health across populations. Factors that influence the implementation of HiAP are examined, including Health Impact Assessment (HIA) and Health Lens Assessment (HLA). This unit will allow you to bring together assessment, research and evaluation skills learned throughout your course in order to consider where and how health fits in the policy cycle.

Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of 'pass' in order to pass the unit. If any 'pass/fail' tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully ('pass' grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the 'assessment task' section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University's Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.
