DfES civil servants work in either one of four locations: London (Sanctuary Buildings or Caxton House, both close to Westminster Abbey), Sheffield (Moorfoot) Darlington (Mowden Hall), or Runcorn {Castle View House} - as well as in the regional Government Offices. Education is a devolved issue and therefore the responsibility of other government departments in Scotland and Wales: the Scottish Executive Education Department, the Scottish Executive Enterprise, Transport and Lifelong Learning Department and the Welsh Department for Education, Lifelong Learning, and Skills (DELLS).
