10th January 2018 Dear Susan,
Care of Children in Jersey Review Panel
The Review Panel has been considering submissions received from a variety of organisations in respect of the response to the Independent Jersey Care Inquiry (IJCI), and would like to request an update on the following items in relation to training courses:
- A submission from the Jersey Association for Family Therapy (JAFT) explained that a local training course in systemic practice has been running for the past 20 years. The Review Panel notes that within the response to IJCI that a local training course is due to be established on the Jersey Practice Model. The Review Panel would be grateful if you could confirm whether or not there is any similarity between these courses.
- In a submission received from the NSPCC, concern was raised at the lack of on- island training for Social Workers. Please could the Review Panel request an update on any training that is being considered in this respect.
- Within the headline actions for Recommendation Four, Building a Sustainable Workforce, the Review Panel notes that the training programme for the Jersey Practice Model is due to be established by January 2018. Please could you update the Review Panel on the progress thus far?
The Review Panel would appreciate your response by Friday 19th January 2018. Yours sincerely,
Deputy S.Y. Mézec
Chairman, Care of Children in Jersey Review Panel
