CIH POLICY | Cymru | N. Ireland | Scotland
Our policy work is hugely varied. We do some blue skies thinking about the future, we shape government agendas, and we support the practical implementation of new policies. We know that if we’re going to be successful we have to involve a wide range of people and our proposals have to be grounded. It’s an inspiring and exciting place to work, as long as you have the tenacity to see things through – shaping policy can take a long time. Seeing things change for the better makes it all worth while.
