Civil servants may feel ‘under attack’ after new rules briefed to media, UK ministers told

The UK government has issued new guidance for civil servants, which includes restrictions on staff network meetings during working hours. The guidance aims to ensure the impartiality of cross-government networks and requires senior managers to approve events. However, ministers have been warned that these new rules, which were published in the Telegraph with a quote describing "nonsense" events, may make civil servants feel "under attack." The article suggests that the publication of the guidance in the media, rather than through official channels, could contribute to this perception. The article provides limited details on the specific contents of the new guidance, focusing more on the potential impact on civil servants and the concerns raised by ministers about the way the information was disseminated.
