Arts Council England works to get great art to everyone by championing, developing and investing in artistic experiences that enrich people’s lives. As the national development agency for the arts, we support a range of artistic activities from theatre to music, literature to dance, photography to digital art, carnival to crafts.

Thanks to 15 years of sustained support, including the introduction of the Lottery in 1994, the arts are thriving. We have visionary leaders; entrepreneurial business models; a global reputation for excellence and innovation; enhanced facilities; a transformational Olympics opportunity; and a growing cultural economy built on a new spirit of creative confidence.

Our key values are about being passionate, knowledgeable, nurturing, bold, accountable and collaborative and are what we believe to be important here at the Arts Council. They are drawn from the ideas and beliefs of people throughout the organisation. They define us by saying clearly who we are, what we do and how we do it.

I think we can all be proud that our organisation holds these six values at its heart. They are proof that we have a clear sense of who we are and what we believe in. Our purpose is clear and we have talented people, passionate about the arts and ready to make these values come alive.

The Care Quality Commission is the independent regulator of health and social care in England. Our aim is to make sure better care is provided for everyone, whether that’s in hospital, in care homes, in people’s own homes, or elsewhere.

Established in 2005, the role of the Children’s Workforce Development Council has expanded over the years to include more professions, with more complex issues. Groundbreaking programmes to recruit and retain social workers, pioneering approaches to embedding and reforming integrated working practices, and the development of the first professional qualification for early years workers are just some of our achievements.

The key to our success is the working relationship we have with the 7.6m professionals and volunteers that work with children and young people, and partnership working with like-minded organisations and delivery bodies. Understanding workforce issues and constantly evaluating the reform process has allowed us to lead them through many challenges within the sector and wider society – not least raising professional status and improving standards and skills.

We are transforming how the workforce interacts with each other and the people they are helping, and make sure they have the right skills for their role. We want every person in England who works or volunteers with children, young people and families to be respected by peers and valued for the positive difference they make.

We will realise this ambition by leading change across the workforce. This includes focusing on the needs of all employers, partners, volunteers and practitioners so everyone can do the very best job possible.

We also exercise prudence and propriety. Reducing duplication, breaking silo-working, and creating consistency and cohesion allows the workforce to face challenges in a cost-efficient and effective way.

The Criminal Cases Review Commission is an independent public body that was set up in March 1997 by the 1995 Criminal Appeal Act. Our purpose is to review possible miscarriages of justice in the criminal courts of England, Wales and Northern Ireland and refer appropriate cases to the appeal courts.

The Commission is located in Birmingham, and currently comprises the Chairman, 10 Commissioners, and approximately 95 other staff. The Commission’s powers extend to England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The Commission is financed through the Home Office, the Commission’s Sponsoring Department: it has a budget of approximately £7.5m.

The Commission deals with complex matters across a broad range of cases. During its nine years of casework, it has dealt with some of the most serious miscarriages of justice of the last fifty years. At 31 March 2007, the Commission had received 9569 applications for review and had completed 8,822 of them. It had 464 cases under review and an accumulation of a further 283 cases awaiting various stages of review.

The Commission has established a reputation for independence and thoroughness. This is due, in part, to its commitment to service delivery underpinned by professional competence, transparency of processes and decision-making, objectivity, integrity, openness and independence of action.

The managerial strategy reflects this commitment. The Commission is an organisation in which individuals have responsibility for managing their own case portfolios. The calibre of staff is high and the skills base varied, so that there is generally much interaction between Commissioners and staff at all levels. Work routinely makes use of the Commission’s powerful IT systems which provide access to reference materials and case documentation.

The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority provides a valuable service to members of society who have suffered at the hands of violent criminals. We know that we can never fully compensate victims of crime, but we can recognise their suffering and provide some financial support which may help them move on. The CICA is a Non-Departmental Public Body (NDPB) responsible for administering the Scheme across the UK.

The organisation is undergoing significant change and development in terms of its structure, work processes and building effective relationships with applicants and third party stakeholders. This means we have moved from an organisation of approximately 400 staff to around 500 over the last twelve months. Staff are employed by either the Ministry of Justice or the Scottish Government, our sponsors and work on assignment at our office in Bath Street, Glasgow, dealing with every aspect of the applications for compensation under the 1996, 2001 and 2008 Criminal Injuries Compensation Schemes.

It’s our ambition to be a leading edge organisation within the criminal justice field by offering a fast, fair and customer focused service, and to do this we need passionate and committed staff. In return we will continue to implement practices that will move us further towards being an ‘employer of choice’.

At DfT we work to improve transport services in many ways. We set policy framework through legislation and regulation, through funding services, by supporting investment in infrastructure and by influencing people’s behaviour. Often we work through other organisations, such as local authorities, other government departments, public bodies and the private sector. We also work with the European Commission and other member states on many transport issues as well as internationally – with the International Civil Aviation Organisation and the International Maritime Organisation. Looking at transport as a whole, we match solutions to specific problems by assessing all the options.

As the independent advocate for equality and human rights in Britain, the Equality and Human Rights Commission aims to reduce inequality, eliminate discrimination, strengthen good relations between people, and protect and promote human rights. Established in October 2007, we exist to challenge prejudice and disadvantage, and to bring about social change. The Commission enforces equality legislation on age, disability, gender, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief and sexual orientation, and advises and acts on compliance with the Human Rights Act.

Our first three year strategy published on our internet sets out our commitment to addressing the most severe and persistently disadvantaged. Our purpose is not just to reduce discrimination, but to make society more equal by promoting equality of opportunity for all. The Commission wants to see a fairer Britain for everyone. At the heart of the Commission’s mission, our integrated mandate, means that we will act across all the areas for which we are responsible, promoting fairness through structural change that benefits the 60 million people in Britain.

If you join us, you will be part not only of an organisation that champions human rights and strives to eliminate discrimination but which also celebrates the fact that we are all equally different.
