Civil Servants: Disciplinary Proceedings

Asked by Rupert LoweRestore BritainCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 19 May 2025UIN 51188

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many civil servants were subject to formal disciplinary proceedings in each of the last three years.

Answered by Georgia Gould

Individual departments are responsible for their own discipline policies and guidance in place, which include details of formal processes and procedures. These will be aligned to the Civil Service Code and the Civil Service Management Code which set out the standards and behaviour expected from all employees. Departments will collect information as required in their own department in accordance with GDPR.
