About: The Civil Service Statistics data browser is a pilot project by Cabinet Office to provide access to more detailed data on the Civil Service workforce from the Annual Civil Service Employment Survey. We welcome feedback or comments on this project, which can be addressed to civilservicestatistics@cabinetoffice.gov.uk

Notes: Summary figures are suppressed when information relates to less than 5 civil servants for FTE or Headcount, and less than 10 civil servants for median and mean salary (shown as [c]). Zero responses and salaries for less than 30 civil servants have been suppressed for GPDR special category data. FTE figures are not shown for entrants or leavers due to data quality concerns for these groups. Figures are rounded to the nearest 5, or £10 as appropriate.

Data source: All figures are aggregated from the Cabinet Office Annual Civil Service Employment Survey collection.

Data column Description
Status Employment status of the civil servants.
In post - includes staff that were in post on the reference date (31 March).
New entrant CS - includes new entrants to the Civil Service over the year (1 April to 31 March).
Leaver CS - includes leavers from the Civil Service over the year (1 April to 31 March). This includes employees who have an Unknown leaving cause.
Leaver Dept. - includes leavers from the department over the year (1 April to 31 March), who did not leave the Civil Service.
Five organisations do not report when their employees first entered the Civil Service and so entrants data for these organisations is not available . These are as follows: Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (excl. agencies), Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office Services, United Kingdom Statistics Authority, Scottish Forestry and Forest and Land Scotland.
Year Year of data collection (as at 31 March).
Function_of_post Functions relate to the post occupied by the person and are not dependent on qualifications the individual may have.
Of the 21 bodies under the Scottish Government, 16 did not report any functions information for their employees.
Profession_of_post Professions relate to the post occupied by the person and are not dependent on qualifications the individual may have.
Two bodies did not report any professions information for their employees. These are as follows: Scottish Forestry and Forestry and Land Scotland.
Sex Self reported sex.
"Unknown" accounts for employees who were recorded with an unknown sex.
Headcount Total number of civil servants (rounded to nearest 5).
FTE Total full-time equivalent (FTE) employment numbers (rounded to nearest 5).
FTE figures are not shown for entrants or leavers due to data quality concerns for these groups.
Mean_salary Average salary (mean, rounded to nearest £10). For part-time employees, salaries represent the full-time equivalent earnings, while for full-time employees they are the actual annual gross salaries.
These figures should be interpreted with caution when the total number of employees in a group is small, as they will tend to show more variability than larger groups (i.e. may be much higher or lower than can be explained by the data shown).
Median_salary Median salary (rounded to nearest £10). For part-time employees, salaries represent the full-time equivalent earnings, while for full-time employees they are the actual annual gross salaries.
These figures should be interpreted with caution when the total number of employees in a group is small, as they will tend to show more variability than larger groups (i.e. may be much higher or lower than can be explained by the data shown).
