Can anyone decipher this?...

“One in three young people in Britain today are from working-class backgrounds. So too are 23% of undergraduates from the top third of universities and 11% from Oxbridge. But only 7% of applicants to the civil service fast stream are from working-class backgrounds, falling to just 3.5% of those who are given offers.”

Hancock said the civil service’s diversity record was “not good enough” and stressed that “the ladder to the top can be climbed by all”.

The new cabinet office minister said he wanted to see a civil service where there was a “freedom to fail”, where promotion and pay were tied to performance, and where there were “more porous borders” between it and the private sector.'

What exactly is meant by 'freedom to fail'? does in mean no accountability?
If you toe the party line we'll promote you (performance related pay) and tory donor shareholders in charge of any private investment....
