How to write a Policy Document

WORKSHOP content and goals

Are you writing a policy document in Dutch or English? Then this workshop is for you.
The workshop will enable you to:

  1. Clarify the purpose, audience and goals of your policy document
  2. Create a policy document with a user-friendly structure
  3. Write a policy document that is clear and easy to read

After completing the workshop, you will be able to produce a policy document that works! Why? Because the people who read it will understand why the policy is needed, what it involves, and what they need to do.

The workshop has three parts.

Part 1 Preparation: You will complete a short form to clarify your policy document’s purpose, audience and goals. You will also say something about your writing skills. This preparation will enable the trainer to tailor the group session to participants’ specfic needs.
Part 2 Interactive group session: With tips and cases, you will discover how to write a policy document with a user-friendly structure that is clear and easy to read.
Part 3 One-on-one online session: Check with the trainer whether the policy document you are producing hits the mark. You can ask questions and get feedback on what you have written so far.
