We are also aware of the importance you attach to positively promoting the good things the Civil Service does. We will play our part but every civil servant can be an ambassador for what the Civil Service does well. The work you do matters – civil servants quite simply keep this country’s public services going. We should all be proud of our roles, while at the same time focused on working to deliver more effective and efficient services - and challenging colleagues to do the same. If we do all this, while holding fast to our core values of integrity, honesty, objectivity and impartiality we will be an exceptional Civil Service delivering the best for Britain.
