From Ageing Research into Policy
Much research for older people and those with a disability has a close link to Government policy. For some research projects, engaging with policy makers is necessary to enable the outputs of the work to create impact. It's also often necessary to engage with policy to ensure that the research outcomes are relevant to current practice when a project disseminates its findings.

Traditionally most academics and researchers don't engage with policy. As a result they are unaware of how policy is developed, or how their research might influence it. The aim of this workshop is to begin equipping academics with a better understanding of policy: how policy is developed and how that process can be influenced.
Issues to be covered:
- How policy is developed within political parties.
- The key players in policy development.
- How policy is developed within different Governments (Westminster, Cardiff, Holyrood, Stormont, Brussels). Although this event will mostly focus on Westminster.
- How bills are drafted and enacted; how the committee system works.
- How legislation is implemented by local Government and development agencies.
- How NGOs, such as thinktanks, influence policy.
