As of October 2014, 57% of the Senior Community Organisers who have finished their training year have remained employed as a community organiser for a second progression year. This represents a strong progression rate in light of our tough match funding requirements for the second year employment start up grant and the fact that some community organisers opt out of progression due to personal circumstances.

The Cabinet Office does not monitor how many Senior Community Organisers remain employed as community organisers following their progression year.

The Cabinet Office has not issued a pass to Stephen Kearney.
