One of the goals outlined in my Department's current Statement of Strategy is to continue to develop a highly skilled, diverse and gender-balanced workforce.  My Department is committed to supporting a positive working environment for all staff, one that provides equality of opportunity and supports work-life balance.

Staff in my Department work in various locations around the country and the workforce is made up of over 100 grades, including specialist grades in addition to the standard civil service grades.  The number of persons employed in my Department in each year since 2016, both male and female, is outlined in the attached table, sorted by Civil Service "Job Code Equivalent" which gives relative comparators with standard civil service grades.
