Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, from which teams within her Department staff working on the development of the Advance British Standard have been drawn; and how many staff have been drawn from each team.

Officials in the Department support the government to deliver education and children’s social care priorities. The Department’s vision is for a workforce with world class skills which is flexible and can be deployed quickly to priority areas. As the Advanced British Standard is a priority, cross cutting reform, officials from across the Department are engaging in this work.
