The Civil Service is an equal opportunities employer and is committed to building a diverse and inclusive Civil Service that reflects the society that we serve. Learning and development for the Civil Service is provided through various sources, including external groups identified as subject matter experts and corporate memberships aligned to section 75 groups. It is appropriate to adopt an approach that ensures that learning and development resources for the Civil Service include subject matter expertise and/or lived experience insight. Each public body has its own arrangements for training provision to address the learning needs of its organisation.
