The Civil Service helps the Government of the day to develop and deliver its policies effectively and efficiently.

The Civil Service incorporates three types of organisations – departments, agencies, and non-departmental government bodies. It works in a wide range of areas that touch on everyone’s day-to-day lives, such as education, health and policing.

The Civil Service employs 471,000 staff, almost three-quarters of whom work outside London and the south-east. Civil servants are politically impartial.

The workforce includes people who deliver services direct to the public across the UK, such as Jobcentre Plus staff and coastguards. Staff also work on policy development and implementation.
