The Civil Service Bureau (CSB) is one of the 13 policy bureaux under the Government Secretariat of the Government of Hong Kong and is responsible for the formulation and implementation of policies on the management of the Hong Kong Civil Service.
The Civil Service Bureau (CSB) is led by the Secretary for the Civil Service and has approximately 600 staff.
The CSB absorbed the Official Languages Agency (from 1 July 2003) and the Civil Service Training and Development Institute (from 1 April 2004).[1]
On 15 January 2021, the CSB announced that civil servants must either sign an oath or a declaration to pledge loyalty to the government.[2] In response, Leung Chau-ting, chairman of the Hong Kong Federation of Civil Service Unions, said that the requirements were too vague and that the requirement would give the government power to discipline civil servants.[3]
In February 2021, the CSB announced that they will build both a temporary and permanent academy to teach civil servants about national affairs and the national security law.[4]
