The government's entire focus is on the work of delivering change. The government has not yet reviewed existing guidance on home working. We will support the Civil Service with the necessary tools to ensure it can deliver that change. The Government is committed to supporting individuals and businesses to work in ways that best suit their particular circumstances and whilst terms and conditions relating to hours of work are delegated to departments as individual employers, the Civil Service must ensure that it provides value for money for the public.<\/p>

The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster appoints Non-Executive Board Members to the Cabinet Office Board and most Non-Executive Directors to the Boards of its Arm\u2019s Length Bodies in compliance with the Governance Code on Public Appointments. Non-Executives are not employees and therefore contracts of employment are not issued, Non-Executives receive terms of agreement for their roles instead.<\/p>
Since 5 July 2024, seven Cabinet Office Non-Executive Board Members have been provided with one month\u2019s written notice for the termination of their appointments before the end of the fixed period as set out in their terms of agreement.<\/p>
