PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(18 November 2024)

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what progress he has made on implementing the recommendations on secondments in his Department’s report entitled A report by Nigel Boardman into the Development and Use of Supply Chain Finance (and associated schemes) related to Greensill Capital in Government: Recommendations and Suggestions, published on 21 July 2021.

Asked by:
Mr Richard Holden (Conservative)

The Civil Service is committed to ensuring we attract, develop and retain talented people from a diverse range of backgrounds, to create a modern Civil Service, now and for the future.

Secondments into the Civil Service from other sectors are an important route to bring in essential skills and experience, enabling talented individuals from outside the Civil Service to contribute to the work of Government, and share critical capabilities and innovative thinking for a set period of time.

All departments, functions, and professions have been commissioned to embed secondments as a key part of their resourcing and skills strategies. Cabinet Office works closely with secondment leads across government, providing support and advice as required. A number of guidance products have been developed which provide practical advice to vacancy holders and secondees, enabling them to navigate the process and maximise the potential of secondments.
