Wales Office: Performance Appraisal
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, how many departmental employees were on performance management plans in (a) 2023, (b) 2024 and (c) 2025.
Answered by Jo Stevens
The Wales Office has fifty staff and is committed to thorough performance management and has in place robust processes to ensure that those who fall below the expected standards are supported to improve in a timely manner. To this end, there have been:
No employees placed on a Performance Improvement Plan in 2023/24, one in 2024/25, and none in 2025/26.
Those who cannot improve their performance, despite this additional support, may be dismissed.
