Department for Education: Personnel Management
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many directors with responsibility for human resources are employed across their department and its executive agencies; and how many of those directors hold professional HR qualifications from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development or equivalent professional bodies.
Answered by Olivia Bailey
Organograms for the department, including senior civil service posts, are published on GOV.UK here: https://www.data.gov.uk/dataset/5a1f3831-86d6-4979-9164-99e982361ca4/organogram-department-for-education. The data sets out director-level roles and responsibilities across the core department, including for our Executive Agencies.
Information on the professional qualifications of individual employees is personal data, and it would not be appropriate to release this at an individual level. However, all directors appointed with responsibility for human resources would be expected to have the appropriate skills, experience and, where relevant, professional qualifications necessary to undertake the role effectively, including experience aligned with Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CPID) standards or equivalent professional bodies in line with requirements set out by the Government People Group.
Number of Directors with responsibility for human resources (HR) | Number of Directors delivering non-HR technical activity e.g. Shared Services | Number of Directors with CIPD membership |
Department for Education (including Executive Agencies) - 1 | Department for Education (including Executive Agencies) - 0 | Department for Education (including Executive Agencies) - N/D Headcount less than 5 |
