Policy submissions
Select Committees, government consultations and calls for evidence
H&P's historians frequently offer historical evidence to parliamentary select committee inquiries and respond to calls for evidence and consultations. Our Public Affairs Office can help with this. Click here to see examples of historians' responses.
H&P also responds to relevant calls and consultations itself - including, for example, the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE)'s consultation on the new Research Excellence Framework, which will govern the assessment and funding of academic research from 2012.

Seminars and briefings
H&P co-organises seminars and publishes briefings on issues of concern to policy makers. Recently this has included two seminars in Whitehall on history relevant to the Coalition Government's 'Big Society' agenda. Click here to find out more.

For those seeking advice on how to submit evidence to Select Committees, Dr David Turner, Committee Specialist at the Health Select Committee of the House of Commons, has prepared a guide as part of a secondment with H&P. Download Dr Turner's paper here [pdf file, 66kb].
