Government Departments: Leadership

Asked by Mike WoodConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 10 April 2025UIN 43959

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether his Department has issued guidance to other Departments on reducing spending on leadership training.

Answered by Georgia Gould

The Cabinet Office has not issued any guidance to departments about reducing spending on leadership training. Good leadership and management skills will be needed to deliver the Plan for Change and realise the government’s ambition to reshape the state. A cross-Civil Service leadership and management curriculum is being developed to support the standards expected for leadership and management. We are working to ensure this is delivered in the most impactful and cost effective way.
