Civil Service Commission (United Kingdom)

The Civil Service Commission regulates recruitment to the United Kingdom Civil Service, providing assurance that appointments are on merit after fair and open competition, and hears appeals under the Civil Service Code. The commission is independent of government and the Civil Service. The Civil Service Commission was established by Gladstone through an order in council on 21 May 1855 following the publication of the Northcote–Trevelyan Report by Charles Trevelyan and Stafford Northcote that advocated the decoupling of appointments of senior civil servants from ministers to ensure the impartiality of the Civil Service.

Civil Service Code

The Civil Service Code is a set of regulations which govern the conduct of civil servants in the UK. The regulations are broadly based on the Seven Principles of Public Life. First introduced in 2006 and later updated in 2015, the code sets out the four main principles which civil servants are expected to demonstrate: integrity, honesty, objectivity and impartiality. The code applies to all civil servants, whether employed on a permanent basis or otherwise, but not agency workers, consultants, contractors or staff employed in the wider public sector. ==List of First Civil Service Commissioners==
