Civil Service: Standards
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how frequently performance management statistics are (a) reviewed and (b) reported in the civil service.
Answered by Georgia Gould
Departments are responsible for collating, and monitoring their performance management. For Senior Civil Service, this is normally collated annually. For grades below the Senior Civil Service (SCS), each department has delegated responsibility for monitoring and reporting via their internal governance arrangements.
The Civil Service People Survey, which is reported annually, captures data on civil servants’ views on the performance management systems in their department.
In March, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster announced that the Government will be strengthening performance processes for the SCS.
