To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if she will provide a list of training programmes used by civil servants in her department since 2020.
Ian Murray
The Minister of State, Department for Culture, Media and Sport, Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology)
Since 2020, The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has provided training programmes accessed via Civil Service Learning, Government campus and an internal curriculum. The offer includes the development of core skills, leadership and management, profession related training and accelerated-development programmes including apprenticeships and the Civil service Fast Stream programme.
We do not hold a central list of all training that Civil Servants in DCMS have either attended or completed, as the training programmes are delivered by a cross-section of teams. This involves several groups including a central People development team, profession-specific learning teams, policy teams and individual Directorates sharing knowledge and best practice.
