Exit is an all-of-government operation. The Department for Exiting the European Union is doing detailed work with departments to understand the risks and opportunities of leaving the EU and to coordinate planning. A team within the International Education Division leads on providing advice to ministers on EU Exit and exit-related issues. Members of staff across the Department for Education (DfE) provide advice and analysis on EU Exit issues across a range of DfE policy areas as required.

Given the interactions between EU exit work and the department’s other priorities, it is not possible to give an accurate figure specifically for work on EU exit.
