David Dinsmore will resign as Permanent Secretary, Director of Communications, by mutual agreement on 30 September 2026. His departure follows a change in Prime Minister and administration, with both David and the First Secretary of State agreeing it is an appropriate time to transition leadership of the communications reform programme. During his tenure, Dinsmore oversaw the development of a Government Communications strategy and established the Government Media Unit. Dame Antonia Romeo, Cabinet Secretary, praised his leadership in creating strategic frameworks for government communications. Dinsmore expressed gratitude for the opportunity to modernize government communication practices and confidence in civil servants continuing the work. The transition marks the shift from strategic design to implementation phases of the reform programme.
