The language of policy communication

On these programmes, we will explore the specific technical vocabulary that is required to engage in a range of policy areas. You will learn to work with different spoken and written genres and to strengthen your role as a policy expert in the international field.
From the topics of justice and the environment to foreign affairs - depending on your own professional interests - we will practice interpreting reports, creating ministerial briefing notes and preparing political speeches. I also provide the opportunity to prepare discussions for meetings, practice speaking at panel discussions and learn how to effectively write correspondence based around the policy areas you are working with. ​
Tailored to the specific professional communication needs of the trainees, I provide a training programme that is supplemented by a wealth of material and resources for all kinds of communication across the government

A key area of expertise

​Government communication is an area I am particularly interested in. I studied Public Policy and Management in the UK and worked as a Civil Servant at the heart of British policymaking. I am currently working on doctoral research exploring the use of English in government contexts.
