Overview
Off the shelf (OTS)
The 2024 UK election saw a change in Government and, along with this, new outcomes committed to the UK public. Ministers are now delivering their manifesto promises through a packed legislative programme. To see their vision succeed and take shape, they rely on civil servants who understand the role of ministers at different levels, and their closely aligned special advisers.
Civil servants who work with ministers’ benefit from understanding the Government system as a whole – how the Cabinet Government and Departments works in practice and where they fit into the larger picture.
This online course is delivered by a former special adviser and Westminster insider with over 30 years' experience. There are opportunities for engagement and a chance to connect with likeminded peers across the civil service.
