Overview

Off the shelf (OTS)

In this course we deliver policy training via a series of highly interactive workshops. Participants will develop their understanding of the policy context and the challenges that policy makers face. We cover the full policy process from using evidence to identify and understand issues to implementation and policy announcements. The workshops are centred on a policy exercise, where groups work together on a current issue to design and present a policy proposal.
