QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 14th MARCH 2022 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 21st MARCH 2022
Question
"What actions have been undertaken by the Government to review its long-term support for the Jersey Women's Refuge, both in respect of annual grants and support for the recruitment of additional staff for the charity?"
Answer
Government of Jersey Officers work closely with Jersey Women's Refuge (JWR) across several areas to provide support. This includes regular grant meetings with the Service Manager and the Board, work through the Homelessness Cluster as well as the IRIS Service (Identification and Referral to Improve Safety Service), which is a partnership with General Practice.
Officers are currently engaging with the JWR to review their current service specification with a view to co-producing a longer-term arrangement that is sustainable from a funding and staffing perspective.
