Abstract

The Skills for Justice Employer Skills Survey (ESS) is a biennial consultation that seeks to provide insight and knowledge on trends of skills issues across the United Kingdom (UK) Justice and Community Safety sector (JCS sector). The purpose of this headlines report is to summarise the sector-wide findings for the 2013 ESS. The document does not provide detailed narratives on operational, strategic or other contextual factors associated with the variables analysed and reported in it. Detailed analysis will be available in a full report which will be published as soon as possible. Early findings presented in this headlines report signify that the skills agenda must continue to sit at the heart of a vibrant and efficient JCS sector and will continue to play a pivotal role in rebalancing the UK economy.
