In 2021 the Treasury published new guidance on the use of wellbeing to assess business cases and appraisals of policies in government. This provided valuable new guidance to officials and analysts on using wellbeing evidence to design, appraise and evaluate government policies and other social interventions.

We teamed up with experts from the What Works Centre for Wellbeing, State of Life and the London School of Economics to develop this training aimed at assisting analysts in applying the guidance and using it to drive better decision making.

The four-hour online workshop will be delivered across two sessions:

• Session 1 of 2: Tuesday 20 May, from 10:00 to 12:00
• Session 2 of 2: Thursday 22 May, from 10:00 to 12:00

Delivery team

• Allan Little, Economic Consultant at State of Life
• Sara MacLennan, Visiting Senior Research Fellow at LSE
• Jon Franklin, Chief Economist at Pro Bono Economics

Attendance requirements

This training is suitable for analysts interested in:

• Understanding the Green Book and its role in integrating wellbeing into policymaking
• Incorporating wellbeing into business cases and developing strategic cases
• Navigating the relevant sections of the guidance for appraisals and evaluations
• Practical training and exercises on wellbeing impact measurement, including tools and calculations

The training is fully funded for analysts who are employed in charities, the civil service, and the education sector.

Professionals from the private sector who wish to attend will be required to pay for the training. For further details, please contact Will at will.delacruz@pbe.co.uk.
