The Cabinet Office and the Department for Exiting the European Union are coordinating planning across government for EU exit. Members of staff across the Department for Education work on EU exit issues, including preparations for leaving the EU without a deal, across a range of policy areas as required.

In addition to a central coordinating team, EU exit work is embedded and prioritised as necessary across the department’s policy responsibilities. It is therefore not possible to give an accurate figure specifically for work on EU exit issues, including on planning for leaving the EU without a deal.
