Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many members of (a) his Department's and (b) 10 Downing Street staff have received training from the (i) Active Bystander Training Company and (ii) Plain English Campaign in the 12 months up to the end of June 2022; and what grades those staff were at the time of receiving that training.

This information is not held centrally.

Cabinet Office has a comprehensive corporate learning and development offer designed to give staff the knowledge and skills required for a modern civil service. Courses offered by the (a) Active Bystander Training Company and (b) Plain English Campaign are not part of the formal corporate learning and development offer provided by Cabinet Office. Over the past 12 months Business Units within the department may have independently procured these training offers.

I can however confirm that neither of these training offers have been run in 10 Downing Street over the past 12 months.
