<p>(1) The Government Skills and Curriculum Unit committed to developing a programme
of induction and training for new ministers in the Declaration of Government Reform.
The Declaration noted the importance of support for ministers in their roles as the
most senior leaders in Government. This work is ongoing. A programme of masterclass
sessions was rolled out over the last year. A particular area of focus is legislation
and the provision of guidance and support to ministers taking bills through parliament.</p><p><strong>
</strong></p><p>(2) We recognise the importance of ensuring Senior Civil Servants
have the right leadership training. We provide a range of training programmes and
events to support them in growing their knowledge, skills and networks to tackle many
challenges. For example, we have recently launched a new programme for Directors,
The Directors Leadership Programme. This has had input from the Blavatnik School for
Government and a consortium of experts, to create a rigorous and focussed vehicle
for leadership improvement.</p>
