The following table has been compiled using Office for National Statistics guidelines for work force management reporting.There has been an external recruitment freeze in place across the civil service since 24 May 2010. The only exceptions to the recruitment freeze are for the graduate fast stream, and truly exceptional business-critical and frontline appointments. External recruitment is only allowed once every effort has been made to fill a role internally, from staff in the redeployment pool, or from elsewhere in the civil service. The recruitment freeze and targeted voluntary exit schemes helped reduce the headcount (paid civil servants) of the Home Office and its Executive agencies from 31,459 on 1 June 2010 to 28,162 on 30 June 2011. The largest proportion of the 3,297 reduction has been achieved through voluntary exit schemes.The changes to the Civil Service Compensation Scheme (CSCS) in December 2010 oblige Departments to first offer voluntary redundancy to any staff identified as being at risk of redundancy, who are in re-deployment, and who have not been able to secure an alternative post. This must take place prior to the Department being allowed to consider whether to issue notice of compulsory redundancy.<Table width="100%" summary="" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3" border="0"><thead><tr><th>Table 1: Staff who have been (a) recruited or (b) made redundant since May 2010</th></tr></thead><TR><TD>Headcount</TD></TR><TR><TD></TD><TD></TD><TD>(a) Staff who have been recruited since May 2010</TD><TD>(b) Staff who have been made redundant since May 2010</TD></TR><TR><TD>(i) Department</TD><TD>Home Office and the Executive agencies</TD><TD>¹603</TD><TD>0</TD></TR><TR><TD></TD><TD></TD><TD></TD><TD></TD></TR><TR><TD>(ii) Non-departmental bodies</TD><TD>Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC)</TD><TD>²0-5</TD><TD>0</TD></TR><TR><TD></TD><TD>Independent Police Complaints Commissioner (IPCC)</TD><TD>53</TD><TD>26</TD></TR><TR><TD></TD><TD>Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA)</TD><TD>33</TD><TD>0</TD></TR><TR><TD></TD><TD>National Policing Improvements Agency (NPIA)</TD><TD>108</TD><TD>9</TD></TR><TR><TD></TD><TD>Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC)</TD><TD>²0-5</TD><TD>0</TD></TR><TR><TD></TD><TD>Security Industry Authority (SIA)</TD><TD>18</TD><TD>0</TD></TR><TR><TD></TD><TD>Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA)</TD><TD>7</TD><TD>0</TD></TR><tfoot><TR><td>¹ This includes 373 existing civil servants who transferred from other Government departments to the Home Office during the period in question (101 of these transferred in when the Government Equalities Office (GEO) became part of the Home Office in May 2011).</td></TR><TR><td>² The number of individuals identified within this category falls between 0 and 5 and has been redacted in accordance with the Data protection principles to avoid inadvertent identification of particular individuals.</td></TR><TR><td>Notes:</td></TR><TR><td>1.
