We regularly produce policy briefings on the advocacy goals we work on. We typically create briefings when we are seeking to influence a new piece of legislation or to inform a debate or a review. We also make submissions to government inquiries and consultations, often co-ordinating responses from our local and national partners, or sometimes making our own submission. As such, these documents are are drafted for a particular purpose and with different audiences in mind so may shed light only on one element of a particular advocacy issue. For further information about any of the policy areas we work on, please get in touch with the team.
