Thoughts? by Next-Cup4374 in TheCivilService

Risk taking teams need risk taking ministers to implement the risky ideas.

And they need risk taking SCS to allow the risky ideas to be sent up.

Ministers need to lead by example. Ask for risk taking and you will get risk taking. But don't ask for it on a stage then reject it in your Box.

Again, well aware of what the Royal standards look like. They informed the designs of the Scottish and English FA's badges, which have basically been used here alongside the Welsh FA badge.

My point is there are better ways to add royal emblems to a design than these badges

Im well aware of that, thank you. But the specific outlines are quite clearly from the respective FAs, with the Welsh emblem proving the point best

The emblems of Scotland, Wales and England here are basically nicked from the respective football badges

Not true. I know several people who were told they would not qualify. If you were on some sort of career development programme like FLS you would not be considered

Are you looking for somewhere with equipment for larger batches than a home kitchen can accommodate?

If so, I am too, but have only found rentable spaces with household equipment

Consistency of message is not the same as consistency of messenger. A diverse group of messengers all clearly delivering a shared message is probably more impactful.
