At Connect we understand how MPs’ and Peers’ offices work and how best to engage with their staff. We have been building relationships with parliamentarians and staff for over 20 years and many of our consultants have worked in an MP’s office.
This course will teach you how to:
- build effective relationships with MPs and Peers
- identify and work with their key members of staff
- understand the political, party and local priorities of different MPs
- use key events in the political year to increase your reach and influence
- use parliamentary business to table questions in the House
- get the most from 1-2-1 meetings
This is an essential course for those who regularly meet with MPs and Peers or run MP and Peer engagement programmes.
