Home Office: Social Media

Asked by Sir John HayesConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 6 January 2026UIN 100268

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many full time equivalent staff in her Department have been employed for the purpose of making social media content in each of the past three years.

Answered by Sarah Jones

Responsibility for the Home Office's social media content sits primarily with the Home Office digital team. Each team member works across numerous projects & briefs. No one is solely employed to make just social media content.

The FTE for the digital team can be broken down as follows:

FTE 2023 - 7

FTE 2024 - 10

FTE 2025 - 9
