  • A Guide to the Government for BIA Members
    A guide to the Government for BIA members Correct as of 26 June 2020 This is a briefing for BIA members on the Government led by Boris Johnson and key ministerial appointments for our sector after the December 2019 General Election and February 2020 Cabinet reshuffle. Following the Conservative Party’s compelling victory, the Government now holds a majority of 80 seats in the House of Commons. The life sciences sector is high on the Government’s agenda and Boris Johnson has pledged to make the UK “the leading global hub for life sciences after Brexit”. With its strong majority, the Government has the power to enact the policies supportive of the sector in the Conservatives 2019 Manifesto. All in all, this indicates a positive outlook for life sciences during this Government’s tenure. Contents: Ministerial and policy maker positions in the new Government relevant to the life sciences sector .......................................................................................... 2 Ministers and policy maker profiles................................................................................................................................................................................................ 7 Ministerial and policy maker positions in the new Government relevant to the life sciences sector* *Please note that this guide only covers ministers and responsibilities relevant to the life sciences and will be updated as further roles and responsibilities are announced.

  • 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.
