The civil service

Study note

Government policies are carried out by the civil service. Civil servants are not politicians; they must be politically neutral and chosen on merit, and they continue in their jobs when the government changes after an election.

Memory tip: Civil servants are neutral, chosen on merit, and stay on when governments change.
