The Civil Service Disciplinary Code, which was revised in July 2006 in accordance with the Civil Service Regulation Act 2005, provides for a number of disciplinary actions including dismissal. The provisions of the code apply to all officers other than officers serving in a probationary capacity after entry to the Civil Service. To date no member of staff who has completed their probationary period has been dismissed from my Department since the provisions of the Civil Service Regulation Act 2005 were introduced. One member of staff at in the Clerical Officer grade had their employment terminated while on probation because they failed to satisfy the conditions attached to their probationary contract.
