Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many and what proportion of staff in her Department were promoted (a) in-grade and (b) to a higher grade in the last year broken down by (i) performance marking in the previous year and (ii) grade.

The Home Office introduced a no-rating performance management system for delegated grades in 2021 in line with external good practice. Therefore, the department cannot compare progression with performance markings / categories.

For the SCS grade please see table below.

Promotions from PB1 (SCS1) to PB2 (SCS2)

Performance markings from the previous year:

Achieved: <5

High Performing: <5

Exceeding: <5

Promotions from Grade 6 to PB1 (SCS1)

Performance markings from the previous year:

Achieved: 8

Partially Met: <5

Not in scope for a performance marking: 8
