Public Policy.
Successfully influencing public policies can have an enormous impact on the future of public services, funding for projects and ensuring the right decisions are made for your organisation. Lostock Consulting offers a range of public policy services from developing policies at a local and national level to influencing decisions and making change happen effectively.
Our consultants have a wealth of experience in developing policy in both local government and at a parliamentary level, with significant knowledge and insight of the legislative process. We have our finger on the pulse of current affairs and use that intelligence to advise our clients on approaches to engage the public, shape a debate and communicate policies effectively to achieve successful outcomes for political parties, businesses and charities.
Our public policy services include:
Political Advice.
Your decisions as a politician or organisation will shape how and where your aims and values feature on the political agenda. It is vital the decisions on those policies are thoroughly thought out, consulted on and have huge scope for success. Our consultants have over two decades of experience in the political arena at a local government and parliamentary level advising politicians, political groups and political parties on public policy. Whether you require advice on how to develop a new campaign, political strategy or navigating your political group through a challenging period, Lostock Consulting can provide you with the tailored advice you require to get the best outcome possible for you or your political group.
Stakeholder Engagement.
Lostock Consulting specialises in bringing groups of individuals together to collaborate, develop and feedback on new policies. We offer advice, planning, organisation and facilitation of any stakeholder engagement sessions you or your organisation requires. We have a range of methods and approaches to stakeholder workshops which will get the very best out of the discussion and ensure everyone’s voice is heard. Most of all we will ensure your stakeholder engagement sessions are meaningful and produce outcomes which will support you to add strength, purpose and depth to any policy you are developing
Policy Development.
Our consultants have led, overseen and supported the development and implementation of policies in local government and the House of Commons from the initial stages of policy development to implementation and evaluation. Lostock Consulting has a standard methodology which we apply when working with organisations to create new or revise and refresh policies.
Our method to policy development follows the following phases:
- Define problem

- Research and review
- Analyse and develop
- Consult and set agenda
- Finalise and implement
- Communicate
- Measure and evaluate
Manifesto Creation.
The development of your political manifesto is imperative to ensuring your policies, vision and values are communicated effectively to the public. Lostock Consulting can help you formulate your manifesto from a very basic set of ideas to a clear, engaging and in-depth document which will detail the story and journey you want your policies to take and catch the attention of your audience.
Campaigning.
Inspiring campaigns can make an enormous impact on the lives of individuals and your organisation’s stakeholders. Great campaigns can drive major changes in public policy, help make improvements to public services and ensure the values of your organisation are on the political agenda. Our consultants can support you in the development and delivery of your campaign from start to finish and we have excellent results in doing so, from improving healthcare access and transport services to legislative changes nationally.
