How to create people and roles and special instructions for creating ministers.

People and roles

If you바카라 사이트™re adding a new ministerial role

Before you add the role:

Assign a role to a person

  1. Select 바카라 사이트˜Roles바카라 사이트™ in the 바카라 사이트˜More바카라 사이트™ tab to see a list of every role featured on 바카라 사이트.

  2. Find the role from the list and open it for editing.

  4. Enter a start date. The old role-holder will automatically be removed from the role on this date.

You must only assign a role to a person on or after the day they take up the role. The person will appear on your organisation page once you바카라 사이트™ve assigned them to a role.

Changes to role names and responsibilities  

If the name of a role changes, create a new role rather than edit the existing one. Assign the person to the new role, and untag the old role from your organisation. 

If a person is staying in their role but their responsibilities change, you can update the responsibilities section of the existing role.

You need to get approval if you바카라 사이트™re updating a minister바카라 사이트™s role name or responsibilities. Read the guidance on adding ministerial information for more details.

Interim roles

If a role is being temporarily filled (for example, to cover someone on maternity or paternity leave) you must create a new role for an interim position.

This should have the same name as the original role but with 바카라 사이트˜interim바카라 사이트™ at the beginning, for example, interim chief executive officer.

Do not change anything about the original role or assign it to anyone until it바카라 사이트™s been permanently filled. When it has, you can also remove the person from the interim role.

If it바카라 사이트™s a ministerial role, contact GDS for approval before making any of these changes.

Ministers and ministerial roles

There바카라 사이트™s a different process for making changes to ministerial people and role pages. The Number 10 (Prime Minister바카라 사이트™s Office) digital communications team is responsible for the accuracy of ministerial information on 바카라 사이트.

Reshuffles and changes to ministerial appointments

If there are multiple changes to ministerial appointments (for example, during a government reshuffle), GDS will contact 바카라 사이트 leads in ministerial departments to let them know what바카라 사이트™s happening and confirm responsibilities.

Number 10 will contact GDS to confirm details of the new appointments as they happen.

GDS will:

  • create and assign the new people and role pages
  • contact the affected departments to tell them when they can take over responsibility for the updated pages

If it바카라 사이트™s a change to only one or two ministerial appointments, contact GDS to check if you can create and assign the new people and role pages yourself.

If you can make the changes yourself, ask the minister바카라 사이트™s private office and the Number 10 digital communications team for the details you can use.

Changes to existing ministerial pages

With approval from a minister바카라 사이트™s private office, you can update the:

  • minister바카라 사이트™s photo
  • minister바카라 사이트™s name and titles - if the minister is a peer, do not include their first name
  • 바카라 사이트˜Biography바카라 사이트™ section of their people page
  • 바카라 사이트˜Responsibilities바카라 사이트™ section of their role page - these changes should also be approved by Number 10

If it바카라 사이트™s a new junior ministerial role with a generic name like 바카라 사이트˜Minister of State바카라 사이트™ or 바카라 사이트˜Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State바카라 사이트™, you can also change the role name. You must use the following role title structure:

  • Minister of State (Minister for X)
  • Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Minister for X)

If you want to make any other changes, contact GDS for approval.
