WQ.31/2025
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES
BY DEPUTY M.B. ANDREWS OF ST HELIER NORTH
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 3rd FEBRUARY 2025 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 10th FEBRUARY 2025
Question
"Will the Minister detail the total amount of compensation paid by Government for each of the last five years to Islanders who have been in care?"
Answer
It is assumed that this question relates to damages payments made following a claim against the Minister for Children and Families ("the Minister") by individuals who, as children, were in the care of the Minister where the claim arises from alleged negligence to those individuals while they were looked after.
There were fewer than 5 such payments per year made from 2020 to 2025 and therefore there is a risk that if specific information is provided per year it could lead to the identification of individuals. The total sum paid in damages in this period is £380,500.00
