About: The Civil Service Statistics data browser is a pilot project by Cabinet Office to provide access to more detailed data on the Civil Service workforce from the Annual Civil Service Employment Survey. We welcome feedback or comments on this project, which can be addressed to civilservicestatistics@cabinetoffice.gov.uk

Notes: Summary figures are suppressed when information relates to less than 30 civil servants for FTE or Headcount, and less than 50 civil servants for median and mean salary (shown as [c]). Additionally, zero responses have been suppressed for GPDR protected characteristics. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10, or £10 as appropriate.

Data source: All figures are aggregated from the Cabinet Office Annual Civil Service Employment Survey collection.

Version: Generated on 2022-07-26, with GIT 03ee02c.

Data column Description
Status Employment status of the civil servants.
In post - includes staff that were in post on the reference date (31 March).
New entrant CS - includes new entrants to the Civil Service over the year (1 April to 31 March).
Leaver CS - includes leavers from the Civil Service over the year (1 April to 31 March). This includes employees who have an Unknown leaving cause.
Leaver Dept. - includes leavers from the department over the year (1 April to 31 March), who did not leave the Civil Service.
Organisation specific notes on status: In late June 2021 around 7,000 employees from Community Rehabilitation Companies were transferred in from the private sector to HM Prison and Probation Service, counting as entrants. The Defence Electronics and Components Agency does not record the date in which their employees first enter the Civil Service and so entrants data is not available. HM Land Registry do not record where their departing employees transfer to and so are unable to identify those that transfer to another Civil Service department.
Year Year of data collection (as at March 31st).
Organisation Executive Agencies, Ministerial and Non-Ministerial Departments.
On 30 September 2021, the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government changed it’s name to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.
On 1 October 2021, Public Health England was dissolved and it’s staff were transferred into either the newly created UK Health Security Agency, the NHS or the Department for Health and Social Care (excl. agencies). In addition to this the DHSC have been offboarding Test and Trace staff as well as onboarding the former PHE staff onto their system and so caution should be advised when interpretting data at DHSC as they are currently undertaking data cleansing exercises. PHE only includes entrants and leavers up to 30 September 2021 and UKHSA only inlcudes entrants and leavers from 1 October to 31 March 2022.
Profession_of_post Professions relate to the post occupied by the person and are not dependent on qualifications the individual may have.

Of the 20 bodies under the Scottish Government, 16 did not report any professions information for their employees.
Sex Self reported sex.
