Parliamentary Training Delivered by Former MPs, Ministers & Special Advisers

Practical, high-level training for organisations engaging with the UK Parliament, Select Committees and government decision-makers.

Whether you are a UK-based organisation, an embassy, a charity or a business seeking to understand UK policy — or to ensure policymakers understand your concerns.

At Westminster & Whitehall Partners (WWHiP), we deliver bespoke parliamentary training led by former MPs, Ministers and senior advisers with direct experience of legislation, Select Committees, scrutiny and policy-making. Our sessions provide a clear, practical understanding of how Westminster really works, and how organisations can engage with Parliament and government effectively, responsibly and with confidence.

What Our Parliamentary Training Covers
Each session is delivered by an experienced practitioner and provides a practical, insider’s view of how the UK government and Parliament operate in practice.

Key Players in the UK Political System

Influencing UK Policy: Strategies for Engagement

• Learn how MPs and Peers influence policy through debates, parliamentary questions, committees and legislative proposals.

• Understand how All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs), Early Day Motions (EDMs) and Private Members’ Bills work — and when they can be used effectively.

• Learn how to submit evidence effectively and position your organisation as a credible, trusted contributor.

Understanding the UK Legislative Process

• Gain a clear, practical understanding of how laws are made.
