Thousands Wasted on Personal Grooming Course.

It was recently revealed in an article in the Daily Telegraph that the senior civil service are running courses in “personal grooming” to help the top civil service managers to “balance the professional persona with natural style”

The 2 day courses run by national school of government cost a staggering £970 per person. More than most DWP staff take home each month.

At a time when the Treasury hold down our pay and offering members in DWP a 0% pay increase it is obscene that money is being squandered in this way.
