Get Involved

Change is happening at every level and every civil servant has a role to play. All civil servants can take action to encourage and progress cross-government change in their role, team and department.

Civil servants can access training, workshops, and events by joining a government profession. Professions offer civil servants the chance to share skills and experiences within a professional network.

One Big Thing begins 14 October, 2024 and runs for 4 months. To find resources like the One Big Thing 2024 guide, how to hold a conversation and inspire innovation within your team, you can visit the One Big Thing page.

The Civil Service is driving change through the 5 change priorities. If you or your team has worked on or delivered a project that fits one or more of the priorities, get in touch to share your story. We share blogs, stories and newsletters regularly that showcase the best of what civil servants do from every department and grade.

Stories from the Modern Civil Service

Fiona from HMRC

As part of the Levelling Up and Beyond Whitehall agendas, I thought it was really important that we showed what is on offer outside of London. I set up a cross-Government stakeholder group and ensured that I had representation from a diverse group of Policy professionals. I also found that bringing in external stakeholders from institutes such as universities gave it a fresh injection of views and insight.
