Training Courses Available

During the COVID-19 crisis, the pace of change in government and politics has moved quickly as our politicians responded to the need to make big decisions in a short space of time. Organisations have been challenged with the need to respond quickly to decisions which may affect them.

This is particularly the case locally given the dynamics of decisions made in London, the politics of devolution as well as the impact and influence of the shared border with the Republic of Ireland, and how these factors influence the way our parties respond.

In response to these changes, we’ve moved our public affairs and communications training online to help organisations continue to engage and place themselves as part of the solution and recovery.

Our bespoke training programme includes a range of courses designed to equip your team with the knowledge to navigate the complexities of politics, policy and public affairs. These include:

  • An introduction to public affairs
  • Engaging with Parliament during COVID-19 crisis
  • Online campaigning
  • Preparing for Assembly Committee appearance
  • How the Assembly works
  • Parliamentary legislation – How legislation works and how you can influence it
  • Stakeholder mapping
  • Developing your public affairs strategy

We can work with groups as well as developing tailored mentoring programmes for individuals. Get in touch to find out more by sending us an email.
