<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
departments to ensure their recruitment practices were in line with the Ban the Box
initiative. For many organisations, the guidance formalised the good practice which
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>
