Policy engagement often fails to achieve meaningful influence because it is approached in a fragmented way, without a clear strategy, understanding of policy processes, effective communication, or credible evidence of impact.

This practical workshop provides a structured introduction to the full policy engagement cycle, from planning and positioning your work, through identifying opportunities to influence policy, to communicating with policy audiences and demonstrating impact.

What you’ll walk away with

  • A clear, structured understanding of the full policy engagement cycle, from planning through to evidencing impact
  • Practical guidance on setting realistic policy engagement objectives and prioritising the right partners and opportunities
  • Improved ability to identify where and when research can inform policy decisions across different contexts
  • Stronger skills in communicating research in ways that are relevant and usable for policy audiences
  • Confidence in capturing and presenting evidence of policy impact for funders, assessments, and future engagement

Your booking includes

  • Pre-workshop scoping call to tailor delivery to your team
  • Practical worksheets and templates for each participant
  • Take-home framework cards and reference material
