Description

This module lifts the lid on the business of policy making, examining the various forms of evidence used in the process, and the dark arts of political communication.

The module is framed around a speaker series, where practitioners from various fields of public policy share their insights and experiences. In the past we've heard from (among others) a former director of political strategy in No.10; a communications manager at the Resolution Foundation; the chief scientific officer at the Behavioural Insights Team; the chairman of the Office for Budgetary Responsibility; and the communications director at the Ministry of Justice.
