Civil Servants: Performance Appraisal

Asked by Rupert LoweRestore BritainCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 15 May 2025UIN 51021

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many and what proportion of civil servants have received formal performance ratings of underperforming or equivalent in each department in each of the last five years.

Answered by Georgia Gould

Departments have delegated responsibility for monitoring and reporting on civil servants performance ratings via their internal governance arrangements.

Information on how many civil servants in departments have received formal performance ratings of underperforming is therefore not held centrally.
