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. | |
| Year | Year of data collection (as at 31 March). |
| Parent_department | Government Department, total figures for both Ministerial and Non-Ministerial Departments include all of their Executive Agencies. |
| Region_london | Workplace postcode data are used to derive geographical information using the International Territorial Level (ITL) classification standard. |
| Region_london groups the ITL classifications into "London", "Outside London": all UK regions excluding London, "Overseas", and "Unknown". | |
| Profession_of_post | Professions relate to the post occupied by the person and are not dependent on qualifications the individual may have. |
| Three bodies did not report any professions information for their employees. These are as follows: Scottish Forestry, Forestry and Land Scotland and Serious Fraud Office. | |
| 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. | |
| 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). |
