Designed for those working in policy making and implementation, Westminster Insight’s Developing Policy course explores the key stages of policy development and deepens your understanding of how to shape and deliver policy.
You’ll take away practical frameworks and techniques for policy development, learning how to map the journey from initial ideas to coherent, actionable positions.
This full-day, online course covers analysis and stakeholder consultation, addressing what constitutes reliable evidence and how to incorporate it into the policy-making process, as well as who influences policy and how.
You will learn techniques for working through and evaluating different policy options.
You will discuss implementation challenges with your peers, including troubleshooting predictable pitfalls, and planning and managing resistance to change.
This highly practical course offers a range of approaches, tools, and techniques to take your policy making to the next level, with opportunities throughout the day to practise your skills, ask questions, and take part in hands-on learning exercises.
