What we do
The Civil Service Commissioners contribute to the development of an effective and impartial Civil Service and support its core values by giving an assurance that appointments are made on merit on the basis of fair and open competition and by promoting the Civil Service Code.
We achieve this by:
- Issuing a Recruitment Code which provides an effective and flexible approach to recruitment at all levels;
- Auditing compliance with the Recruitment Code and considering complaints in relation to the application of the Code;
- Chairing and overseeing the process of selection of senior civil servants;
- Promoting the core Civil Service values set out in the Civil Service Code;
- Investigating appeals under the Civil Service Code, the Diplomatic Service Code of Ethics, and the Code of Conduct for Special Advisers
