Do you need to draft discussion, consultation and option papers?

IS THIS COURSE RIGHT FOR YOU?

Are you a policy officer, manager, or executive in the NSW public sector responsible for communicating complex policy problems?

Would your work benefit if you could define a policy problem in detail without pre-empting a solution?

This course will give you the rules for producing and clearing of policy documents.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

You will leave this course with the skills to write compelling policy documents including how to present evidence and arguments logically and persuasively.

You will learn more about the style guide, ministerial preferences and the needs of departmental executives.

You’ll also develop skills for using different frameworks: the political, the social, the economic, the legal and the ethical.

You will finish this course knowing you can:

• clearly express the essential policy concepts that are necessary if a positive policy outcome is to be realised.
• apply clear writing principles to the work of creating complex policy documents.
• write compelling and influential discussion, consultation and option papers.
• facilitate the understanding by readers – including policy decision-makers – of complex policy issues.
