<p>The Civil Service chose to adopt the Ban the Box initiative in February 2016. The
Cabinet Office issued guidance for departmental recruitment and HR teams to support

already operated across the Civil Service. Departments have processes in place to
approve exceptions. The Cabinet Office have not asked Departments to report on exceptions
to the Ban the Box Scheme in the last 12 months.</p>
