Policy Connect

The All-Party Parliamentary Group for Skills and Employment, chaired by Sir John Hayes MP and Barry Sheerman MP, is the leading forum informing debate and collaboration between parliamentarians, business leaders and the education and skills community.

Through its busy programme of research and parliamentary events, the group raises the profile of skills policy in Parliament and across the UK. With support from our member organisations and parliamentary members we ensure that skills policy is recognised as a central means to economic and personal development. 

The All-Party Parliamentary Climate Change Group is a parliamentary group designed to research, support and promote key climate change issues in government and policy making.

The All-Party Parliamentary Carbon Monoxide Group (APPCOG) is the leading forum for Parliamentarians, civil servants and energy industry representatives to work together to discuss ways of tackling carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, to improve government policy on carbon monoxide safety, and to raise public awareness of the threat posed by deadly CO gas. 

The All-Party Parliamentary Design and Innovation Group is a cross-party coalition of Parliamentarians and design sector organisations that works to develop new design policy ideas, critique existing government decision-making around design, communicate within Parliament the enormous potential value of design, and help the design community better engage with the policy process.
