Handbook

In this course you will work with evidence, in the form of an existing dataset, to make sense of and seek to influence an existing policy problem. You’ll learn to interpret, analyse, and extrapolate meaningful information from an existing dataset and to contextualise your findings within a broader social and theoretical framework. You’ll learn how to apply these findings to build a case for evidence-based policy change.The application of evidence to policy making will give you an understanding of the workings of contemporary society and the development and implementation of policy, and the experience and expertise you need to be an effective policy influencer in the workplace.
