WQ.369/2021

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR CHILDREN AND EDUCATION BY DEPUTY L.M.C. DOUBLET OF ST. SAVIOUR

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 20th SEPTEMBER 2021 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 28th SEPTEMBER 2021

Question

Will the Minister provide (and commit to publishing as a matter of urgency) the minutes of the Corporate Parenting Board's last meeting held on 11th September 2020, together with copies of all the accompanying meeting documents as requested in Written Question 355/2021?

Revised Answer

Written Question 355/2021 does not ask for copies of any accompanying documents, for ease of reference the text is copied below:

"Will the Minister provide the dates and Minutes of the last 3 meetings of the Corporate Parenting Board and also provide details of any meetings which were cancelled, and the reasons for these cancellations?"

The response I provided on 26th July 2021 says:

The dates and minutes of Corporate Parenting Board meetings are published here: Corporate Parenting Board Website

Minutes of the last meeting held on 11th September 2020 will be published on the same page when they have been approved by the Board at its next meeting. Meetings scheduled for the end of 2020 and earlier in 2021 have been cancelled due to multiple changes in Ministerial Leadership.

In answer to this Written Question 369/2021:

The Minutes of the meeting held on 11th September 2020 were provided to the Deputy via email on Monday 20th September. The Minutes have also now been published on gov.je, in accordance with my previous answer, following their approval at the last meeting on Monday 20th September 2021.

There were two documents circulated with the agenda for the meeting although neither was an official agenda item.

1. The CLA Covid Learning document provided, has been redacted to avoid identification of individuals due to the low numbers contained within.
2. A letter from Jersey Cares to the Minister for Children and Housing dated 13th August 2020.
