The staff who are directly employed include only those who are on DIT payroll (for domestic staff) or on FCO payroll and then recharged to DIT (for overseas staff).

Those who are seconded are those who are working in DIT and subject to a secondment agreement.

Staff working under contract include contractors and agency staff who have been procured from Government frameworks.

These totals do not include employees working in DIT who are not paid directly through the DIT payroll.

All data above includes those working in the UK and overseas.
