While team level workforce data is not published, departmental level headcounts can be reviewed as part of national statistics on Civil Service employment numbers. These are published each quarter by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) as part of their Public Sector Employment statistical release. The latest figures were published 13 September 2022 and showed the position as at 30 June 2022. The next figures will be published 13 December for the end of September position.
More timely workforce information is also published by departments in the interests of transparency on GOV.UK each month. This monthly workforce management information (MWMI) includes additional breakdowns on department and agency employment numbers e.g. showing contingent labour, grade breakdowns and associated costs.
