Policy Forum

The Policy Forum is a crucial instrument for shaping the Partnership’s agenda. For Policy Forum events, the Partnership invites stakeholders to discussions about mutual interests, salient issues and the Partnership’s current and future activities. The discussants at these regular meetings come from a wide range of public, private and voluntary bodies and challenge existing ideas and policies and think ‘outside the box’ of tested and failing policy approaches. Lastly, the Policy Forum feeds into Oxfam Scotland’s agenda.

Below is more information about the Policy Forum events of the recent past.
