Training packages broadly fall into three categories: those tailored to specific business areas; those focused on specific groups of officials, such as fast streamers and those working on legislation; and as part of broader campaigns such as <em>Devolution Learning Week</em>. Devolution training can also be incorporated into broader training products.</p><p>The Home Office is also an active participant in the <em>Devolution and You</em> campaign. <em>Devolution and You</em> was established in 2015 following a Civil Service Board commission. The Board recognised the need for greater understanding of devolution among civil servants and for better intergovernmental working across the different administrations in the UK. The program is led by Cabinet Office in partnership with the Scottish and Welsh Governments. It aims to build devolution awareness and civil servant networks across the One Civil Service through shared learning and knowledge exchange throughout the year.</p><p>Providing exact numbers of those trained would be at disproportionate cost</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 10/05/2018 14:29:36 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
