Forthcoming events
The Policy Forum for Wales aims to provide the premier environment for policymakers in the National Assembly for Wales, Welsh Government and government agencies to engage with key stakeholders in timely discussion on public policy issues in the areas that have been devolved from Westminster to Cardiff Bay.
The Forum is putting together a programme of consultation with members of the National Assembly for Wales, senior departmental officials, regulators, industry representatives, academics and others. We welcome input from any individuals or organisations with an interest in issues relevant to the devolved administration.
The Policy Forum for Wales is completely impartial and has no policy agenda of its own. Whilst we are grateful for the support and advice on themes that we receive from sponsors, all editorial decisions remain with the Forum in order to maintain impartiality.
Should you have any booking queries, please email jayne.cole@westminsterforumprojects.co.uk.
