Sir Patrick Vallance, Government Chief Scientific Adviser

The design of effective policies for citizens, communities and the UK requires policy makers to understand interconnected systems. For example, the role of transport in accessing healthcare. The most effective policy professionals across the UK Civil Service develop and deploy systems approaches in their work and I encourage all my colleagues to make full use of this toolkit.

I have no idea of policy advisors graphed out the Online Safety Act or the current proposals in this way. The idea is to think about what acts on what. Then policy analysts can think about what interventions might actually work.
