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.

Responsibility_level_ungrouped With the exception of the centrally managed Senior Civil Service, government departments have delegated pay and grading. For statistical purposes departments are asked to map their grades to a common framework by responsibility level.
This table shows staff in their substantive responsibility level unless on temporary promotion in which case staff are recorded at the higher responsibility level.
Responsibility_level_ungrouped shows the mapped grades at a higher level of detail, however not all Government Departments / bodies have distinct grades that map exactly to these levels so figures should be considered as approximations and treated with caution.
Sex Self reported sex.
"Unknown" accounts for employees who were recorded with an unknown sex.
Figures on sex presented here are based on management information provided by departments, which records the ‘legal sex’ of civil servants. ‘Legal sex’ does not align with ‘sex’ as defined by The Equality Act 2010.
The Serious Fraud Office have not reported any data for profession, function, ethnicity, disabilty and sexual orientation due to alignment concerns with these fields with external reporting criteria. The Serious Fraud Office is currently undertaking work to ensure a robust dataset is reported for the 2027 ACSES return.
Ethnicity Self reported ethnicity. "Undeclared" accounts for employees who have actively declared that they do not want to disclose their ethnicity and "Unknown" accounts for employees who have not made an active declaration about their ethnicity.

Disability Self reported disability.

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).
