In Advanced policy skills, Ethos CRS uses case studies to explore uncertainty and risk and what they mean for the ordered or ideal process of policy development. We look at coordination with other government departments, consultation with stakeholders and how to build evaluation methods into policy design. As a component of implementation and evaluation we provide insights on the role the media has in assisting us to communicate complex policy messages.
