Swyddfa'r Prif Weinidog a Swyddfa'r Cabinet Office of The Swyddfa’r Prif Weinidog a Swyddfa’r Cabinet Office of the First Minister and Cabinet Office Our ref: ATISN 11826 Date: 25 January 2018 Dear Mr Andrews Request for Information – ATISN reference 11826 Thank you for your request which was received by the Welsh Government on 6 December 2017. You asked for the following information: copies of emails sent from the First Minister's Senior Private Secretary to the Private Office of the Minister for Public Services on 4 December 2014 and the reply from that office on 8 December 2014, and the email from Sarah Rhodes to the offices of the FM, Minister for Public Service and Counsel-General on 2 December 2014, together with any submission contained therein. emails exchanged between the Minister for Public Services SPS and the FM's SPS on 15 December 2014 relating to London meetings, and the email from the Minister for Public Services to Des Clifford dated 17 December 2014 on the same issues. copies of any meeting notes and emails taken and or circulated, in whatever format, of meetings that the Minister for Public Services had with the First Minister on 25 September, 6 November, and 19 November. The information held in relation to this request is attached at Annex 1. In addition, I have concluded that, in this instance, certain personal data should be withheld under Section 40 of the FoI Act, such as names and contact details of civil servants who would not expect these details to be released during the normal course of business. Details about the Section 40 exemption are at Annex 2. Some of the information requested is exempt under Section 35(1)(c) as it relates to advice provided by the Law Officer and Section 42 as it is subject to legal professional privilege. Details about the Section 35(1)(c) and Section 42 exemption are at Annex 3. If you are dissatisfied with the Welsh Government’s handling of your request, you can ask for an internal review within 40 working days of the date of this response. Requests for an internal review should be addressed to the Welsh Government’s Freedom of Information Officer at: Information Rights Unit, Welsh Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ or Email: [email protected] Please remember to quote the ATISN reference number above. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF. However, please note that the Commissioner will not normally investigate a complaint until it has been through our own internal review process. Yours sincerely Annex 1 From: Andrews, Leighton (Ministerial) <[email protected]> To: (OFMCO - Office of the First Minister) <@gov.wales> Cc: Sent: Wed 17/12/2014 15:47 Subject: RE: Minister for PS - London meetings I am slightly surprised at this email. I don’t recall any questions being raised when or accompanied me to meetings in London when I was previously in the Cabinet. Has there been a change of policy? I would be very concerned if I thought that was being treated differently from other special advisers. For the record, I think that the presence of a special adviser at such meetings is different from the role of a PS in these meetings. We are holding a number of high-level discussions on the subject of public service reform and you will see from the calibre of the people that we are meeting, both in January and this week, that we have scheduled discussions with people from whom we can learn about the process of public service reform in other places. needs to be in these meetings so that she can share in that learning and ensure that it is shared with officials when I am not available to discuss these issues with them and to inform her own contributions to future internal discussions on public service reform. You will appreciate that I have deliberately scheduled these visits in recess to avoid any disruption to normal business.

Any future visits like this need to be cleared with the FM, as he’s keen that SPADs are in the office as much as possible. I also understand that mentioned to that there is likely to be a SPAD meeting on 6 January which would need to attend. or I will let you know as soon as that is finalised. Grateful if you could let me know on what basis needs to accompany the Minister to these meetings rather than a Private Secretary so I can let the FM know please.

FM noted. 2. Discussion on smacking…FM confirmed that the WG will not support legislation or amendments outlawing smacking of children. He is clear that such a move without any previous manifesto commitments, public or professional consultation, consideration of legal consequences, advice from CPS etc would be entirely wrong and amount to bad government.

  • Cabinet Office Consultation on 'Better Use of Data in Government
    Cabinet Office consultation on ‘Better use of data in government’ Response from the CLOSER Consortium CLOSER (Cohorts and Longitudinal Studies Enhancement Resources) is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and Medical Research Council (MRC) to maximise the use, value and impact of the UK’s longitudinal studies. The network brings together eight leading longitudinal studies, the British Library and the UK Data Archive. CLOSER’s response to the consultation predominantly reflects our interest in being able to link individual administrative records to longitudinal survey data collected from that same individual. The linking of these two forms of data offers potential that exceeds the sum of the two approaches in isolation. While administrative records can provide enviable coverage and frequency, they rarely provide the richness and depth that comes from survey data collected to tackle specific research questions; conversely, survey data collection can be costly and challenging to administer, leading to missing data and possible biases which can be overcome by using administrative records to fill in the missing information. Consequently, combining the two can yield considerable benefits. For example, recent analysis of the National Pupil Database (NPD) and Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) found higher participation rates in higher education among a range of groups including ethnic-minorities.1 However, those records could not help explain these differences in participation; exploring this required linking individual

  • Cabinet Secretary for Culture and External Affairs.Dot
    Rt Hon Michael Gove MP Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Cabinet Office 70 Whitehall London SW1A 2AS __ 17 June 2020 Dear Michael In our joint statement of 14 June, which expressed disappointment in your decision not to request an extension to transition before we had an opportunity to discuss this crucial matter ahead of the high level political stocktake, we said that we would write to you on the subject of ‘rebooting’ the process of engagement between the UK and Devolved Governments on the EU-UK negotiations. This letter sets out our thinking on this important subject. We have, in the meantime, received your letter of 14 June responding to our statement. As you acknowledged, we have different views on the way forward and our governments are not going to agree on the core fundamental positions with regard to the EU-UK future relationship. To our mind, this is all the more reason for us to re-double our efforts to work together for the benefit of business and communities in all parts of the United Kingdom, particularly as the option of an extension will no longer be open to the UK after the end of this month. It was because of the immutability of that deadline within the Withdrawal Agreement that we were so disappointed that the final decision was taken in advance of the meeting. While we have had the opportunity to register our views on this issue on several occasions, we would point out the difference between the quantity of meetings and other contacts between our administrations, and the quality of the engagement.

  • Lead Non-Executive Director – Department for Education
    Lead Non-Executive Director – Department for Education Introduction The Department for Education’s (DfE) aim is to ensure world-class education and care that allows every child and young person to reach his or her potential, regardless of background. Over the next four years, the Department is leading an ambitious and wide-ranging programme of reform across early years, schools, 16-19, and children’s social care, building on and extending the changes of the last Parliament. We are expanding the academies and free school programme to empower professionals on the frontline, reforming the curriculum and qualifications so that they represent an international gold standard, and ensuring that young people leave school with the knowledge, skills and resilience to succeed in modern Britain. At the same time we are reforming adoption, fostering and children’s services so that they work quickly and effectively to transform the life chances of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged young people. These changes set a challenge for the organisation itself. We delivered significant organisational change in 2010-15 and halved administrative expenditure in real terms over this period. With substantial resources allocated to our priorities in the 2015 spending review, our focus for 2015-20 is on ensuring the Department has the capability and capacity it needs to implement the Government’s strategic priorities. Setting the right conditions for success in education and children’s services means becoming increasingly effective in how we deliver reform: transforming the way we go about our work in order to help leaders in the education and social care systems do likewise.

  • A Practical Guide to Policy Making in Northern Ireland
    A Practical Guide to Policy Making in Northern Ireland policy n, pl policies a course or principle of action adopted or proposed by a government, party, business or individual. Foreword The Permanent Secretaries’ Group commissioned this Practical Guide to Policy-Making in response to the increasing demand for policy development and advice by the Northern Ireland Civil Service following devolution, and a need expressed by civil servants at all levels for more guidance on the policy development process. Policy development is, of course, not new to the NICS or the broader public sector here: throughout our history, civil and public servants have supported Ministers in applying and shaping the policies of the Government of the day in Northern Ireland. In all policy areas, and often in difficult circumstances, the NICS and those working elsewhere in the public sector have sought to uphold the core values of professionalism, integrity and impartiality. The context for policy development in Northern Ireland was however transformed by the Agreement and the institutions which it established. The model and process of devolved government are unique, and the policy development process is highly inclusive and transparent. There is also now much more public debate than in the past about the social and economic policy issues for which the devolved administration was and, we expect, will again be responsible. The guide sets out some key principles of good policy-making which have been developed internationally. I hope it will help to take some of the mystique out of policy development. One of the key messages which I hope this guide will help to send out is that policy development should not be seen as the preserve of a few specialists.

  • May 2021 Elections: Guidance on Conduct
    MAY 2021 ELECTIONS: GUIDANCE ON CONDUCT 1. On Thursday 6 May 2021, elections will be taking place to the Scottish Parliament; the Welsh Senedd; some local authorities in England will be holding elections and local referendums, including elections to the London Assembly; elections will also be taking place for a number of directly elected Mayors, and for Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) in England and Wales. Further information on the areas affected is attached at Annex A. This note provides guidance to civil servants in Her Majesty’s Government departments, and the staff and members of non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs) and other arm’s-length bodies (ALBs) on their role and conduct during the forthcoming election campaigns. It is for individual public bodies to apply this pre-election guidance within their own organisations, but in doing so they should not go beyond the principles set out in this guidance. 2. Special care will need to be exercised in relation to the Devolved Administrations from 25 March for the elections to the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Senedd. Separate conduct guidance has been circulated in the Devolved Administrations. 3. The period of sensitivity preceding the council, mayoral, and PCC elections is not fixed to any particular date, but the general convention is that special care should be taken in the three weeks preceding the elections – in this case from 15 April 2021. This guidance does not apply to Local Authorities, who are subject to their own restrictions during the pre-election period. The period of sensitivity for Local Authorities holding elections is different from that recommended for central government in this guidance.
