(c) After every CPA trip Members are required to submit a feedback form which details the benefits they have derived from the event, both professionally and personally. By way of example, the positive outcomes from the two most recent trips undertaken in the last 6 weeks (to Westminster for the BIMR and then for a visit to Westminster for Members arranged by CPA), aside from the obvious opportunities for networking and exchanging ideas, include -
BIMR Conference 25th-28th April
• high degree of interest from across the region in relation to the concept of a Pan-Island Commissioner for Standards following a presentation on this by Deputy Rob Ward , which could lead to the model being adopted by other Islands
• the establishment of a regional Climate Emergency working group following a session at which Deputy Hilary Jeune provided an overview of her role as Assistant Minister for Climate Change
• details of Jersey's forthcoming Members' training programme shared with the region and endorsed by CPA with a view to sharing the model with other jurisdictions
• valuable discussions on increasing and supporting diversity and inclusion in Parliaments
• opportunity to take part in an Environment Audit Committee exercise
Westminster visit 16th-19th May
• opportunity to visit a constituency office in London to greater inform the considerations of PPC's
Constituency Office Sub-Committee
• agreement that local schools visiting London can now apply for free tours and workshops via the Westminster Education Centre
• beneficial tailored training from experienced Westminster cross-party colleagues on making an impact as a new parliamentarian, asking effective questions, contributing in an influential way to debates and balancing responsibilities
• opportunity to meet with the Channel Islands All-Party Parliamentary Group and Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons
