WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE STATES EMPLOYMENT BOARD BY DEPUTY R. LABEY OF ST. HELIER

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 18TH JULY 2017

Question

What confidence can the Chairman of the States Employment Board give abuse survivors and their families that those who failed in their public duty to ensure children or vulnerable adults in the care of the States were not sexually or physically abused will be held to account? Could he explain the procedure in place for such action resulting from the report of the Independent Jersey Care Inquiry (R.59/2017)? Will action extend to those no longer in the employ of the States but who are named in the report as presiding over unsatisfactory regimes?

Answer

The findings of the Committee of Inquiry are being considered carefully. Any evidence of misconduct in public office will be referred to the States of Jersey Police. This would, in principle, apply to those no longer employed by the States Employment Board.
