Department for Education: Labour Turnover
(asked on 7th December 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many members of staff have left her Department since 1 January 2015; and how many of those members of staff were nationals of non-UK EU countries.
This question was answered on 15th December 2017
1664 members of staff have left the department from 1 January 2015 to 30 November 2017.
The department does not hold nationality data for all staff. Evidence of nationality is checked at the point of recruitment into the Civil Service as part of wider pre-employment checks, but there is no requirement on departments to retain this information beyond the point at which it has served its purpose.
