Our Introduction to UK Parliament and Legislation online training course is a practical guide to help you understand the UK Parliament and legislation.
This course will set out the structure of the UK Parliament: the House of Commons, the House of Lords, their committees, and the important role of parliamentary staff. It will also explain the impact of devolution and the relationship between the UK Parliament and the devolved legislatures.
Our expert trainer will explain the process of making legislation in UK Parliament including the types of Bills and the different procedures for each to become law. Understand how policy is worked through into draft legislation and the key stages that take place both in Whitehall and Parliament.
Gain an understanding of the interactions between Whitehall and Parliament and explore the roles of Ministers, the Civil Service and Parliament. Examine the processes, organisations, people and relationships that control decision making, and the tools you need to develop a strategic approach to influencing these decisions.
Leave the day with a clear understanding of the legislative process and how the civil service works, as well as the strategy and tools to engage more effectively with the elements of parliamentary work that affect you.
