The Legislation Process: From policy development to an act
“Excellent course, very informative about the bill process, the importance of committees and the extra elements of parliament.”
Intergovernmental Relations Advisor, Scottish Parliament
Turning a policy into legislation takes many stakeholders to work effectively together. Getting an agreement for policies in Whitehall can be difficult, but getting an agreement in the Commons and Lords can be even harder.
This training course will illustrate, through case studies and examples, how policy is worked through into draft legislation and the key stages that take place both in Whitehall and Parliament.
Key Training Features:
- How a policymaker turns policy into legislation
- What needs to happen before a Bill reaches Parliament to ensure it is passed quickly
- An overview of the legislative process and its key players
- Understanding legislation and the different types of legislation
Who Can Attend:
Participants who want to know more about the policy and Bill process and parliamentary procedures.
Learning Outcomes:
Participants will leave with a comprehensive understanding of what the legislation processes involves, enabling them to work effectively with other key players.

Read BioThomas Foster
Thomas joined the Civil Service in autumn 2009, in time for an inside view of the first peace-time Coalition Negotiations for almost a century. He participated in the subsequent emergency Spending Review and went on to play a role in designing the incoming government’s flagship Universal Credit policy. His career has since spanned a diverse range of areas, from financial regulation and developing new financial instruments for private sector investors, to frontline management of a London Jobcentre. In 2015 he joined the Department for Transport where he built and ran a Briefing and Public Affairs team for the rail franchising programme that oversaw one of the most active and controversial periods in the twenty-year history of privatised rail. Last year, he moved to a policy and regulatory role in Local Transport where he is currently overseeing one of the biggest open data projects in UK government history and a wide-spread review of the future of regulation in the taxi and private-hire sector. Prior to joining the civil service, Thomas went to Law School in York, as well as studying Politics and Contemporary History at university. He worked in a variety of private-sector fields including high executive search and recruitment for UK based financial services companies.
