Common use of Department’s Transformation Programme Clause in Contracts

Department’s Transformation Programme. Major structural reform has taken place in the Department with the implementation of its Transformation Programme during 2019. This Programme moved the Department from a traditional Divisional structure to a streamlined functional model under which the core work of the Department has been realigned under two separate pillars: Criminal Justice and Civil Justice. Each pillar is subdivided into the four functional areas of Policy, Legislation, Governance, and Operations & Service Delivery. The criminal and civil pillars are supported by a third, central pillar comprising the co-ordination and support functions of Corporate Affairs, Transparency and European Affairs. The varied work carried out by the Department’s former Policing Division is now, in the main, being undertaken by the Transparency, Criminal Justice Policy and Criminal Justice Governance functions respectively. The Transparency function is responsible for sourcing, assessing and communicating all information required by the Minister, as well as managing internal and external communications including press queries, representations, complaints from members of the public, parliamentary questions, event management etc. Transparency has direct dealings with the Authority in such matters. The Criminal Justice Policy function liaises directly with the Authority on relevant policing policy issues. The establishment of a dedicated Criminal Justice Governance function is intended to enable the Department to build and consolidate its capacity in this area, thereby resulting in more focused and mutually beneficial relationships with the bodies under its remit and, ultimately, supporting a better service to stakeholders and the wider public. Criminal Justice Governance has primary responsibility for the governance of all criminal justice agencies under the aegis of the Department. It comprises the following six Principal Officer-led teams, each of which has specific dealings with the Authority as required:
