To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the average number of days training of full-time equivalent staff employed in her Department was in each of the last three financial years.
Mr Nick Gibb
The civil service aspiration is for five days’ training and development for each member of staff every year.
The majority of training and development is not formal training but is carried out within teams and groups and includes: research; on the job training; shadowing; mentoring; and coaching. Staff record their own personal development in line with the Department for Education’s Capability Review which is on an individual and local basis.
Information on the amount of time spent undertaking informal training is not collated centrally.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what guidance her Department provides to its managers on how many days training should be made available to staff.
Mr Nick Gibb
In line with the Capabilities Plan as part of the Civil Service Reform, the Department for Education recommends that all staff undertake at least five days of training and development every year. This could include formal training courses but may also be made up of other professional development opportunities, for example job shadowing and on the job training. This is not a maximum or minimum target, but a benchmark of expectations. This guidance is available to all managers and staff through the Department’s intranet pages.
