The Citizens Information Board (CIB) is the statutory body under the aegis of my Department with responsibility for supporting the provision of information, advice and advocacy on a wide range of public and social services.
CIB delivers these functions primarily through a range of 22 Service Delivery Companies. These Service Delivery Companies are independent Companies Limited By Guarantee that are governed by voluntary Boards of Directors, which are responsible for all company matters, including pay and terms and conditions of employment. Queries in relation to pay equality for employees within each Service Delivery Company is therefore a matter that is best addressed with the relevant Service Delivery Company.
It is also important to point out that there are different types of Service Delivery Companies as they deliver a wide range of different services. The Service Delivery Companies therefore differ from each other in terms of structure, services provided, number and type of roles, and salary grades.
