Ministers need to hear from those involved in the hard work of social change. But finding all the opportunities to influence and making your case truly compelling can be challenging – and can seem futile when up against the many competing priorities and agendas.
Working inside the political system for over a decade, I met with hundreds of organisations seeking to influence and create social change. I saw what makes them effective - and I’m passionate about sharing these insights with everyone seeking to make a positive difference in the world.
Understanding the different avenues and approaches for influencing, the process of how Government makes new policy, and the do’s and don’ts of advocacy work means you can be really strategic in your political influencing, avoid common pitfalls and be confident in your ability to put forward a compelling case.
““This was one of the best
training courses I’ve ever
attended. Claire’s
extensive experience
provided lots of really
insightful case studies
into the reality of what
policy looks like from the
policymaker’s
perspective. The mixture
of technical information
and strategic advice was
absolutely invaluable””
