Welcome to this self assessment tool, which will help you to develop the right skills for the Civil Service of the future.
It will help you assess yourself against all ten competencies in the new Civil Service Competency Framework, understand what your results mean and suggest some next steps to build your capability.
There are around 50 questions to answer by rating yourself on a scale of 0 to 4, which should take around 15 minutes to complete. You must answer all the questions on each page to proceed to the next page or return to the previous page. All answers on previous pages will be saved if you are unable to complete the questionnaire in one sitting.
You can complete the self assessment as many times as you like. As well as completing it for your current level, you may find it useful to complete for the level you wish to progress to.
On completion of the self assessment tool you will be able to print out a report. You can use this to help in discussions with your line manager and with your development planning. There are some examples of team and individual development plans. If you have already completed the assessment you can access a copy of the assessment here.
