Selwyn (name changed) leads a large government department team that has a mix of policy and operational staff whose focus is improving outcomes for families and their children. Selwyn is responsible for an extensive policy suite that includes strategic and operational policy, guidelines, and procedures. The department works within a complex legislative and regulatory environment. Selwyn’s team has a mix of skills, experience, and expertise. Selwyn wanted to provide her staff with engaging and impactful policy professional development that would give her team a shared understanding of what policy is, a kitbag of tools and methods to ‘do policy’, and a re-energised appreciation of how their policy work can deliver exciting and important outcomes for families and their kids.
