Overview
Policy Research, Briefings and Submissions Masterclass
Effective policy briefings and submissions are essential to good governance. Whether you are a civil servant advising ministers, or a policy professional from the private or non-profit sector seeking to influence decisions, the ability to communicate policy clearly and persuasively is one of the most valuable skills you can develop.
Yet in practice, competing priorities, tight deadlines, and crowded inboxes mean that even well-researched policy work can fail to land. Decision-makers are busy. They need information that is concise, credible, and actionable – and they need it quickly. The challenge is not simply knowing your policy area: it is knowing how to present it in a way that cuts through and drives action.
This one-day course gives participants the practical tools to meet that challenge. You will learn how to conduct focused policy research, structure compelling briefings and submissions, and write with the clarity and confidence that senior audiences expect. By the end of the day, you will be equipped to produce policy documents that inform better decisions – and that get read.
Benefits
The training course is a exploration of policy briefings and submissions through immersive and thought-provoking modules to ensure both you and your organisation benefit from the training.
