DWP Framework

 

 

 

What is the Framework?

The Departmental Framework is the high level document that sets out how the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is organised and managed.

It provides the framework for the co-ordinated and streamlined organisation we need to be if we are to reach our vision of delivering social justice and reducing poverty for our customers.

The DWP needs effective governance arrangements to ensure that our business is carried out competently, with integrity and with due regard for the interests of all of our stakeholders.

The governance arrangements set out in the Framework provide the clarity of purpose, accountability and openness of decision-making needed to drive the successful achievement of the outcomes determined by Ministers and set out in the Welfare Reform Principles, our three year Business Plan 2008 - 2011 and Public Service Agreement.

This latest version of the Framework is a guide of our governance arrangements, strategies, policies and operational arrangements. It formally sets out the accountabilities of Ministers, The Permanent Secretary and senior managers. It also describes the associated high-level decision making arrangements in operation within the Department.

The Framework is made up of:

  • Our purpose and values
  • Our organisation
  • Accountability and decision making
  • Managing our business
  • Independent assurance
  • Parliament
  • Delivering our services in partnership
  • Annexes

This version of the Framework describes the department as of November 2008. It replaces the document published in December 2005.
