Communicating and Engaging with Stakeholders

By attending this course, you will:

• Learn strategies for bringing citizens into the policy process, how to collaborate well with stakeholders, and how to strengthen your connection to front-line staff.

• Explore the benefits of involvement and how to establish purpose and boundaries.

• Find out how to use communications approaches as a policy lever in their own right, and how to work with communications professionals to share key messages about your policy.

Discussions and practical exercises will help you develop involvement and engagement strategies for your policy.

***Please note that we require a minimum of 48 hours notice if you are unable to attend this course. We are unable to offer spaces to other colleagues after late cancellations, therefore non-attendance is a cost to the department and takes the opportunity from other colleagues. Please note that we will be notifying line mangers for “no-shows” in order to prevent this. ***
