How to write an effective policy document workshop

Whether this is the first policy document you need to write or you’ve written a few already, this 2.5-hour workshop will help you write with confidence and clarity. This means you’ll produce an effective policy document that engages your target audience because it’s clear and easy to read. Then they will be more motivated to understand why the policy is needed, what it involves and what they need to do.

The keywords in this training are clarity, structure, and simplicity. And not English language skills! An editor can help you to improve your English. But without clarity, structure and simplicity, your document will be hard to understand even if it is written in perfect English.

Clarity: preparing for the training will help you focus on what the policy you need to write is about. Can you see the wood for the trees?

Structure: the interactive presentation in the first part of the training will set you thinking about the ins and outs of structure. You’ll receive the tips you need to design a reader-friendly structure for your policy document.

Simplicity: the tips and exercises in the second half of the workshop will help you to create a policy document that is as simple and clear as possible.
