being heard by government
The main government department through which representatives of the churches can expect to make their views heard on public policy issues is Communities and Local Government 
.
In addition, churches and other faith bodies liaise bilaterally with civil servants in Communities and Local Government, or other government departments such as the Home Office, about a wide range of issues.
There are also other groups that meet to discuss issues relating to public policy from a faith perspective. The Radar meeting enables exchange of information among officers of the national churches and agencies actively engaged in public policy work relating to Westminster legislation.
