Ofcom: Termination of Employment
(asked on 18th January 2021) - View Source
Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, how many jobs have been lost from Ofcom since 2010.
This question was answered on 22nd January 2021
Below is headcount data from Ofcom’s Annual Reports since 2010, figures which are in the public domain:
Year | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 |
Average FTE | 865 | 832 | 735 | 781 | 785 | 787 | 795 | 828 | 868 | 902 | 937 |
The reduction between 2010 and 2012 reflects headcount reductions in the wider public sector at the time. Since then, Ofcom has had a number of new duties conferred on them which account for subsequent headcount rises.
