Policy Skill Training Programme

The Policy Skills Training Programme will help you to:

  • improve your policy and communication skill-set
  • build your capacity to influence public sector policy makers
  • assist you to support other BAME organisations that you work with
  • train you to cascade this training to other BAME organisations

You will have an opportunity to hear about the influencing and campaigning work of national organisations such as Shelter and Oxfam, as well as other equalities organisations such as Age UK.

A training manual will be produced at the end of the programme which will document the concepts, techniques and case studies used during the training, so you can easily cascade your learning to other BAME organisations.

BTEG Video Report: Andover Community Centre

Located in one of London’s most deprived neighbourhoods, the Andover Community Centre, Islington offers services that are much appreciated and welcomed by the locals - the young and the elderly, kids and their parents.

The Centre, however, has faced serious financial difficulties in maintaining its activities. In the summer of 2010 BTEG worked with them to investigate available support to improve their sustainability and service delivery, and the support it has available from Islington Council and from support organisations like BTEG.

This video report about the Andover Community Centre and BTEG’s work was made within the framework of BTEG’s Organisational Development and Strengthening Voices projects.
