answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2019 answer text <p>No member of staff who has volunteered to work shifts has been rejected because the Department needs to retain them in their current role. Volunteers for shift working were sought from those individuals either already working in the DOC or already assigned to a DOC team and therefore the possibility of rejecting volunteers because they need to be retained in their current role did not arise.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 29/10/2019 16:21:51 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2019 answer text <p>Staff working in our Departmental Operations Centre (DOC) include a combination of staff who have been recruited through open and fair competition, volunteers who have come forward as our preparations for a no deal exit scenario have increased and other staff who have been asked to work in the DOC as part of those preparations. We have not maintained a central breakdown of those working in the DOC against these different circumstances. Shift working is voluntary and if an individual does not wish to work shifts they will be deployed within their normal working pattern.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 29/10/2019 16:23:38 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2019 answer text <p>Working in our DOC under a normal hours day time arrangement is no different to other such arrangements for roles elsewhere in the Department and does not require a specific or separate equality impact assessment. All staff deployed in our DOC will be assigned to roles commensurate with their grade and will be provided with appropriate training and support. Our existing policies and proactive diversity and inclusion agenda ensures all staff are treated fairly including those with protected characteristics.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 30/10/2019 13:59:18 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2019 answer text <p>A dedicated Departmental Operations Centre (DOC) will manage and lead preparations in the event of a no-deal Brexit. Staff working in the DOC will also manage work associated with the UK's exit from the EU in any other scenario. We do not routinely separately record no-deal work from other Brexit work. MHCLG’s normal operations include some out of hours working alongside standard daytime working hours. <br> <br> To support this pattern, we currently estimate the Department will require approximately 200 FTE, using a mix of grades but coming mainly from HEO and Grade 7 staff. This estimate will be subject to on-going review to ensure it reflects any change in circumstances or requirements</p><p><br></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 05/11/2019 14:52:03 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry previous answer version 1032 answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry
