Overview
Policy Research, Briefings and Submissions for Non-Profits
For NGOs and charities to influence government and advocate for impactful policy change, researchers and advocates must research timely, well-prepared and achievable alternative policy options. When there are competing time-pressures and priorities across multiple policy areas, engaging with decision-makers can prove challenging. It is crucial for researchers and policy advocates to provide viable policy alternatives to ensure their topics are raised in topical debates and policy discussions.
This one-day training provides participants with the knowledge and skills to provide impactful policy suggestions and briefings, while analysing how to capture the attention of the reader. Attendees will learn how to research credible policy alternatives against existing policy priorities to ensure better outcomes on key issues. By the end of the course, participants will understand how to prepare and deliver an impactful briefing and submission with insights on how to present information in an accessible manner to ensure decision-makers stand-up and pay attention.
Benefits
The training course is a exploration of policy briefings and submissions for charities through immersive and thought-provoking modules to ensure both you and your organisation benefit from the training.
