Department for Education: Redundancy
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will ensure no compulsory redundancies among staff who cannot relocate from her Department's offices which are closing.
Answered by Olivia Bailey
The department is committed to supporting colleagues affected by the closure of six office locations and have developed a package of mitigations to support those affected, resulting in the majority of colleagues accepting moves to one of our remaining eight nationally based offices. We continue to work with all staff to reach a workable solution with the aim to avoid compulsory redundancies wherever possible.
