The table below provides total numbers of attendees, by department at Parliamentary Capability Team (PCT) training events since August 2017 (when the team was created). Training is open to all civil servants, but efforts are made to focus resources on those in roles that interact directly and indirectly with Parliament - including policy officials, and those directly supporting ministers.

Data under ‘cross-government/unspecified’ relates to attendance at events not arranged by the PCT, such as the annual Civil Service Live programme, and as part of other civil service initiatives such as the Fast Stream and Policy Profession programmes.
