Home Office: Career Development
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many and what proportion of staff in her Department were promoted (a) in-grade and (b) to a higher grade in the last year broken down by (i) performance marking in the previous year and (ii) grade.
Answered by Sarah Jones
The Home Office introduced a no-rating performance management system for delegated grades in 2021 in line with external good practice. Therefore, the department cannot compare progression with performance markings / categories.
For the SCS grade please see table below.
Promotions from PB1 (SCS1) to PB2 (SCS2)
Performance markings from the previous year:
Achieved: <5
High Performing: <5
Exceeding: <5
Promotions from Grade 6 to PB1 (SCS1)
Performance markings from the previous year:
Achieved: 8
Partially Met: <5
Not in scope for a performance marking: 8
