Ever wondered how you can use your professional voice to influence decisions that affect dietitians and the people you support? The BDA’s Political Engagement Toolkit is designed to help members do just that, with practical steps for engaging with MPs, MSs, MSPs and MLAs, using evidence, and making clear, effective asks.
In this webinar we will introduce the toolkit and how to use it, hear short briefings from policy officers on key campaign areas, and leave plenty of time for discussion and questions about how you can take next steps yourself.
We will explore the following:
- How to use the Political Engagement Toolkit in practice, including the constituency map and engagement guides
- What the BDA’s current campaign priorities are and why member engagement matters
- Practical ways you can take action and make your voice heard
