The National School of Government became a separate Non-Ministerial Department on 1 January 2007, giving it more autonomy to build up its role as a centre of excellence for learning and development in support of the business priorities of government. The National School works nationally and internationally to help government departments and public sector organisations build capacity in good governance and offer more effective, better value services.
The National School aims to invigorate the thinking of public servants and to evolve their constituent organisations. It offers a combination of open programmes, tailored and bespoke solutions and consultancy work.
National School of Government Board, appointed by the Cabinet Secretary, comprises leaders from across Whitehall, the wider public and not-for-profit sectors. Chaired by Sir Brian Bender, the Board oversees the work of the National School.
