WQ.248/2018
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE STATES EMPLOYMENT BOARD BY DEPUTY M.R. HIGGINS OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 6th NOVEMBER 2018
Question
Further to the responses to Written Questions 207/2018 and 208/2018, will the Chairman advise whether all investigations into named and unnamed members of the public sector who were suspended following evidence given to the Independent Jersey Care Inquiry into their actions involved both the States of Jersey Police and the Law Officers' Department and, if so, what the nature and extent of that involvement was; will she advise who ultimately took the decision that such employees could return to work; and will the Chairman explain what action she has personally taken to ensure she is satisfied with the independence and robustness of those investigations and with any decisions to allow such employees to return to work?
Answer
The consideration of the evidence available in relation to the named members was undertaken by senior members of the Law Officers' Department, Social Services, Police and HR. This included reviewing of documents and other evidence available to the group. The decision in relation to any further action required was taken collectively by the group. The recommendations of the Group were approved by the HSSD Director and Director of Education and Chief Executive of the time.
The decision had already been executed under the previous SEB. I have personally not taken any further action.
