Purpose
After a lot of debate, the Senedd is set to undergo significant reform. The changes include increasing the number of Senedd members, changing how candidates for the Senedd elections are selected, and new arrangements for voting.
Senedd reform could transform how people and organisations get their voices heard in the Senedd, with more members to engage with and new, multi-member constituencies. With only a few months to go until this election, now is the perfect time to join our training session so your organisation can think about and plan for the changes ahead.
Learning outcomes
By participating in the course, you will be able to:
- increase your understanding of the changes
- explore potential shifts in the political composition of the Senedd
- understand the possible implications of the reforms for organisations’ engagement with Senedd business.
