Understanding the parliamentary process in the UK is crucial for effective engagement with policy makers. By comprehending the intricacies of legislative procedures, you can:

• navigate the legislative process with confidence;

• identify opportunities for intervention;

• strategically position your organisation to shape policy outcomes in the best interests of your stakeholders;

• engage at the right time in proactive advocacy, ensuring your organisation’s concerns are safeguarded and advanced effectively; and

• anticipate and respond to potential challenges and obstacles.

Staying abreast of the parliamentary process also enhances your professional credibility and positions you as a trusted adviser within your own organisation. It demonstrates a commitment to excellence and ensures your organisation is well prepared to adapt to legislative changes and seize opportunities.

Training like this is also a great way to support your staff’s personal development programme. Investing in a culture of learning by enhancing your team’s knowledge and skills is a key factor in staff retention.

The Hansard Society is the leading authority on Parliament. For over a decade our experts have spearheaded new research into the complex system of delegated legislation that underpins most of the law and regulations made in the UK.

In 2014 we published the first major study of the topic in decades. That study is now used in the induction of new staff working on delegated legislation at Westminster and in some of the devolved legislatures. We currently have a cross-party Delegated Legislation Review working to propose reforms to address the complex constitutional and procedural challenges associated with this form of legislation.
