JERSEY CHILD CARE TRUST: RE-APPOINTMENT OF CHAIRMAN

Presented to the States on 2nd February 2016 by the Minister for Education

STATES GREFFE

2016  R.10

REPORT

At its meeting of 18th February 1997, the States adopted a proposition of the Education Committee (P.244/96 – Child care provision: working party strategy) 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 Jersey Child Care Trust's (JCCT) 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.

In pursuance of paragraph 5.1 of the Trust Constitution, amended by the Royal Court (21st June 2012) to comply with the revised procedures for appointments laid down in P.205/2009 (Appointments made by the States: revised procedures) approved by the States on 2nd February 2010, the Minister wishes to give the States 15 days' notice of his intention to re-appoint Mrs. Marnie Baudains as Chairperson for a further 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 a lifelong commitment to the welfare of children. Appointed in 2012, Mrs. Baudains has led the Board of Trustees of the JCCT very  effectively,  and  has  the  full  support  of  Trustees  drawn  across  key  States Departments,  the  child  care  sector  and  parents.  The  Minister  is  confident  that Mrs. Baudains  will  continue  to  bring  her experience  and  expertise  to  bear  as  an exemplary leader in this important role. Mrs. Baudains' re-appointment to this post is supported by the JCCT Trustees.
