ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 15th JANUARY 2019
Question
In view of the Assembly's adoption of United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child: compliance of draft Laws and training of States of Jersey employees' (P.63/2017) on 26th September 2017, on what date was every States of Jersey employee provided with a copy of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and what provision, if any, has been made to train staff on the provisions of the UNCRC?
Answer
The Council of Ministers agreed to progress indirect incorporation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child into domestic legislation, on 19 September 2018. This legislation will be brought forward during 2019.
As part of the programme of work to coordinate the implementation of this new legislation, all States of Jersey employees will be provided with a copy of the UNCRC as part of a package of training measures addressing the provisions and implications of the convention. Confirmation of the resources required to deliver this training and guidance package is currently being progressed. The workforce will benefit from this training package from late 2019 onwards, in preparation for the enactment of this legislation which is expected to take place in spring 2020.
