It’s disappointing to see that the civil service strategic workforce plan, promised with the Spending Review, will now not be published until later this year. As I told Civil Service World, this lack of detail leaves civil servants with more questions than answers. civilserviceworld.com/professions/ar…

Great thread about the continuing need for reform in relation to standards. I ā¤ļø the Nolan principles, but an properly constituted, independent Ethics Commission would provide transparency and confidence šŸ§µšŸ‘‡

referring to a ā€˜bloated’ civil service or worse a ā€˜blob.’ Conference, our members aren’t a blob. They are public service professionals who are simply trying to do their best in a system that is, at best, less than effective, and at worse, totally dysfunctional.ā€
