The Policy Project

The initiative that the Head of the Policy Profession developed in 2014 to improve the policy system became known as ‘The Policy Project’.

The Policy Project was co-funded initially by larger and medium-sized government agencies with a policy advice function on a year-by-year basis. The Head of the Policy Profession has succeeded in gaining the agreement of all public service agencies to fund the Policy Project for the 2020/21 to 2022/23 period.

The Head of the Policy Profession is supported in his policy system leadership role by the Policy Profession Board – and both are supported by the Policy Project team. Deputy chief executives with policy responsibilities from across government – the Tier 2 Policy Leaders’ Network – are also key partners, as are Policy Capability Leads nominated by each agency.
