I am advised by colleagues in HR that the provisions of Circular 4/2013 Career Break Scheme in the Civil Service are being properly implemented in my Department. I am also advised that staff returning from a career break are assigned to an appropriate role and there have been no instances of staff having their career breaks extended unnecessarily.
