Civil Service Live

It was launched by the Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O'Donnell and Kevin Sorkin at Civil Service World in April 2008.

The move to Olympia was not popular with civil servants, who complained the venue was difficult to get to and not pleasant to be at.

To go alongside the site, the Civil Service Live Network has been set up and now has over 30,000 users.
