IWA Professional Training courses (Decision Making in Wales and Influencing Political Outcomes) are designed by the IWA.

Please note that this is a two-day course delivered via Zoom.

Our two IWA Professional Training courses (Decision Making in Wales and Influencing Political Outcomes) are designed by the IWA, and led by Will Henson, our Policy & External Affairs Manager and our team.

Will has eight years of policy and research experience across the areas of higher education, housing and homelessness.

Decision Making in Wales will:

– Give learners a good understanding of how Government and politics works in Wales.

– Provide an overview of the roles of the Senedd and Welsh Government, and how decisions are made.

– Discuss the make-up of the newly elected Senedd.

Learning outcomes 

When finishing this course, you will feel confident in your understanding of:

  • The roles of Ministers and MSs
  • How the Senedd and the Cabinet work
  • The differences between the political parties
  • The development of devolution
  • The relationship between Wales and Westminster and the effect of Brexit
  • How public finance works in Wales

This course will feature a live Q&A session with a serving Member of the Senedd.
