Applying behavioural science: Help and support

There are many ways to start using behavioural science in your work. On this page, you can sign up to access direct behavioural science support, training or events through our different programmes of work. Alternatively, you can access our tools and guides, to help you access behavioural science support and learning in your own time. Below is a list of ways that you can get involved with the Behavioural Science Unit (BSU).

BICI

Every year, the BSU run the Behaviourally Informed Communications Initiative (BICI), a programme designed to improve direct communications – e.g. letters, text, emails, – through the integration of behavioural science.

BICI offers a blend of direct support from the BSU, guided workshops, and self-directed activities to help teams increase the impact of their communications and develop their own behavioural science skills.
