WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION, SPORT AND CULTURE BY DEPUTY T.M. PITMAN OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 15th JULY 2013
Question
Following an incident at a secondary school involving a male pupil and a starting pistol, would the Minister confirm whether the school concerned dealt with the incident in line with established procedures?
Would the Minister advise whether the school contacted the injured child's mother to inform her about the incident or did she only learn about it after school from her son?
Did the school transport the child to hospital after the incident and, if not, why not and who did? Answer
A police investigation into the incident has been undertaken and we are still awaiting the outcome.
Police inquiries and legal processes always take precedence in such cases. Once they have been completed, the Education, Sport and Culture Department will commission its own inquiry.
Until this takes place and in fairness to all parties involved, it would be inappropriate to comment on any details of the incident.
