The teachings and practice of Islam are relevant to a number of aspects of modern life, including religious, cultural, social, political and economic issues, and they therefore have an impact on many different areas of policy-making, locally, nationally and internationally.

The Alwaleed Centre is able to offer advice on how best to address these issues, and has in the past assisted, among others, the Equalities Division of Edinburgh City Council, Lothian and Borders Police, the British Council, and the Army Education Service. We are able to offer advice either through consultations on individual issues, or through training sessions for particular organisations.

For expert advice on issues connected with Islam, please contact us using the details at the foot of the page.
