Policy is a set of regulations or procedures that determine how things get done such as policies made by National and Local Government.

Research and evaluation is conducted to produce case studies and reports on the innovative projects and examples of best practice in the community. These reports are distributed to the relevant government departments and agencies involved in policy making to inform them of work on the ground and help shape future policy.

By drawing groups of interest together Partas can research the issues they face and together make recommendations towards solving their problems. These issues and recommendations are then compiled in reports which are distributed to relevant policy makers and policy shakers.
