Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, when the Leadership College for Government will open; and in which locations that College will be based.

The Leadership College for Government has already been established. A formal launch event will be held in the Summer to mark this step we are taking to reform leadership and management skills.

The Government Campus for Skills has partnered with the College of Policing and the Emergency Planning College to provide physical locations in the Midlands, the North East, and Yorkshire and The Humber for in-person training, bringing civil servants closer to the communities they serve. Over time, the Government Campus for Skills aims to establish more connections across the U.K., having a presence in all 9 regions. The Leadership College for Government will use these facilities, as it is a part of the Government Campus for Skills.
