Public Service Management (Recruitment and Appointments) Bill 2003

Public bill · Government · Presented

The measure would replace the Civil Service Commissioners and Local Appointments Commissioners with two bodies: the Public Appointments Service, which would run recruitment centrally, and the Commission for Public Service Appointments, which would set standards and oversee fairness, merit and integrity. Government departments and other public bodies could apply for licences to recruit staff themselves, while candidates could be penalised for cheating, canvassing, providing false information or interfering with competitions; the system would also cover promotions and could be extended to more public bodies over time.

Formal long title

Bill entitled an Act to reform the recruitment and appointment process of the civil service and certain other bodies in the public service and for that purpose, to provide for new management structures to replace the Civil Service Commissioners and Local Appointments Commissioners, to establish the Commission for Public Service Appointments to oversee the implementation and development of those structures in the context of the public interest and the need to uphold the probity of the recruitment and appointment process, to provide for an Office connected to that Commission, to provide for the establishment of a Public Appointments Service as a recruitment and selection body for the civil service and other bodies in the public service, to introduce flexibility into the recruitment process by enabling the licensing by that Commission, in addition to the licensing of the Public Appointments Service, of any part of those services to undertake their own recruitment in respect of one or more classes of employees and, generally, to enable licence holders to delegate some or all of their recruitment process to persons or bodies specified by that Commission from time to time, to enable those services to respond to changes in their recruitment needs and in the labour market, to provide for both permanent and temporary appointments and to provide for promotion processes, and for those purposes take account of the need to maintain, in the public interest, the integrity and probity of both the recruitment and selection processes for those services and to provide for connected matters
