Making policy work for you
This free training is aimed at helping voluntary and community organisations to better understand how the institutions of government in Northern Ireland work. We will focus on engaging with them on issues affecting our sector as well as learning more about how to lobby for real change.
NICVA, 61 Duncairn Gardens, Belfast BT15 2GB
This session will enable you to understand where policy comes from and the policy cycle - from idea through to implementation. We will examine good policy making versus bad and the unique context of policy making under devolved powers. The overall aim of this session is to help you understand where government policy comes from, how it affects our sector and how you can try to influence it.
