STATES OF JERSEY

Presented to the States on 16th August 2012 by the Minister for Education, Sport and Culture
STATES GREFFE
2012 Price code: A R.105
2 REPORT
At its meeting of 18th February 1997, the States adopted a proposition of the Education Committee (P.244/96) and approved the setting-up by the States of a Child Care Trust to co-ordinate, promote and facilitate expansion of child care provision in the Island.
Following registration of the Trust's Constitution before the Royal Court on 5th December 1997, the Trust has supported the development of significant advances in the range, quality and quantity of child care places available for children aged up to 12 years, and has formed a close and working relationship with other agencies, both States and private, which are concerned for the welfare of children.
For 12 years, since January 2001 when the States approved his appointment on the recommendation of the President of the Education Committee, the Trust has been most ably lead by Mr. Colin Powell, C.B.E., who has served 3 terms of office in the role and therefore, under the terms of the Constitution, is not able to continue. The Minister for Education, Sport and Culture wishes to thank Mr. Powell most sincerely for his considerable drive, commitment and influence during this period, and to express publicly the view that his skills and determination have been critical in establishing the strong and respected position which the Trust now holds.
In pursuance of paragraph 5.1 of the Trust Constitution, amended by the Royal Court (21st June 2012) to comply with revised procedures for appointment laid down in P.205/2009 approved by the States on 2nd February 2010, the Minister, in R.89/2012 (presented to the States on 4th July 2012) gave the States 15 days' notice of his intention to appoint Mrs. Marnie Baudains as Chairperson for a period of 3 years. Mrs. Marnie Baudains is the former Directorate Manager of Social Services. She has a broad experience in management within the public sector, a sound grasp of social, education, and health issues and has a lifelong commitment to the welfare of children. The Minister is confident that Mrs. Baudains will bring her experience and expertise to bear and will be an exemplary leader in this important role. Mrs. Baudains' appointment to this post is supported by the JCCT Trustees and the recruitment process was carried out in partnership with the Jersey Appointments Commission.
In accordance, therefore, with the revised procedures for appointment laid down in P.205/2009 approved by the States on 2nd February 2010, described above, having given the required notice, the Minister has now decided to make the appointment with immediate effect.
