The public policy landscape is continually being shaped by a complex set of mechanisms operating between central government, local authorities and other key partners and stakeholders. The government’s cross-cutting agenda and the drive to deliver more joined-up policy relies upon a clear understanding of how each agency fits into an integrated policy shaping and delivery structure.
Sector masterclasses are designed for practitioners, managers, professionals, new starters and business partners who, as well as keeping abreast of developments in their specific area of work, wish to broaden their understanding of the overall structure of their policy sector and learn more about the functions and roles played by each of the delivery partners at both the central and local level.
