This seems unfair and can cause resentment. )"The third of the population in employment who are working class" is an interesting statistic; I wonder what measures have been used. I wonder how many were banished to the regions of England? A lot of people who join have a strong social conscience, says Dix. Nick Adams, 25, was rejected from the fast stream in May 2012 but joined as an executive officer a few months later. I joined the Civil Service nearly 30 years ago, having been a secondary school teacher, and at that time I took only a small pay cut when I moved from teaching to the EO grade but now the gap between teacher pay and EO pay is much much larger. Rather than being thankful that you had these opportunities you impose that working class individual are lazy, as you 'worked hard', therefor implying that your ability to work hard was why you got where you are; and by default those who don't do well is down to the fact they don't work hard (How Dickensian of you, good job we have forward thinking individuals in the CV!). I would be really interested to hear the rationale behind this, or better still confirmation that Northern hubs will be utilised for Fast Stream entrants in the future. The median age has risen from 44 to 46 in that time.
I think the geographical mobility factor is definitely at play here - London is almost impossible to live in, so that is why it can only attract a certain sector. The answer always seem to be that they are concerned and will analyse results, but after so many years that excuse wears thin.I've personally found Class to be akin to Ghosts- they only exist because people talk about them.Thanks for this interesting article.The civil service influences decisions that impact on the whole country, and provides services for everyone. When I was growing up in the 60s and 70s working class institutions were strong and there was a sense of robust confidence in coming from a working class background, as if history was on our side. Civil Service as an employer could do more - but I think with Spring Schools, Fast Stream etc it is trying and perhaps the Regional Hubs might encourage more people from the regions to attempt these. The Bridge Group report essentially - and laughably - concluded that the only reasons few working class kids get in is because they don't apply and they're not as talented as middle-class kids anyway. “We are expecting people to demonstrate their potential to lead in the civil service,” she says.Fast stream recruiters prize leadership qualities, but the civil service is supposed to be impartial and objective – so you might want to keep some of the more outlandish opinions to yourself in interviews.Once applicants have been accepted they put the government departments they would like to work for in order of preference.
As an outsider, social exclusion and lack of recognition for your achievements continue to be huge problems.With these factors in mind, 'fair and open competition' may often not exist.It's good to know that some people are privileged enough to consider themselves working class. Most fast streamers are not recent graduates – the average age is 25. I'm studying for BSL Level 1 because I think it's important to include the deaf community but I got no support for doing so by my employer. But I do question whether the stats on social mobility might overstate the notion of "privilege" amongst fast streamers as surely few people are going to fit neatly in one extreme or the other. You can imagine this went down well with my parents, particularly my Dad, who had rather prematurely had already told his friends down the pub that his second-born was going to Cambridge. I recognise that having a parent in a professional job with a degree did make much more likely that I would go to university - but not necessarily apply for the fast stream.The Civil Service does the practical and administrative work of government. I'm pleased that the CS is addressing this issue, but I also agree with some of the other commenters that there needs to be more nuance, and people shouldn't be put into 'class' boxes, as we are all individuals with our own stories to tell.
