Following the publication of Power Moves: Exploring Power and Influence the Carnegie UK Trust is holding two seminars this month in order to discuss the findings of the report and the different strategies used to influence policy change. The report details four case studies which focus on particular public policy decisions. The case studies are:
- Jamie Oliver’s School Dinners
- The Energy Review
- Access to free ESOL (English as a Second Language) classes
- 2006 Equalities Act and Sexual Orientations Regulation
The event is designed to present examples from the case studies and for participants to share their different understandings of power and change.
