Civil Servants: Training
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will take steps with Cabinet colleagues to provide disability awareness training to all civil servants in public-facing roles.
Answered by Georgia Gould
Due to the delegated nature of the Civil Service, departments as individual employers are able to set the learning requirements for their employees.
However, Civil Service Expectations training is available to all Civil Servants. This provides an introduction to the Civil Service code and values; the legislation around diversity and inclusion; the Civil Service Diversity and Inclusion Strategy; why diversity and inclusion matters and what it means to Civil Servants and the support that is available to them such as workplace adjustments, mental health and wellbeing support.
