Care of Children in Jersey Review Panel Written Submission

Autism Jersey

Many thanks for the copy of the Independent Care Inquiry Report: Implementation of Recommendations document.

The document has a feeling of openness, transparency and accountability. It is good that the States of Jersey are responding positively to the recommendations.

I believe the recruitment of a Children's Rights Officer is an interesting and proactive development as is the establishment of a looked after Children Advocacy Service.

Access to the Housing Gateway for some Key Workers can only be a good thing.

The adoption of the Hackney Model for Accredited Training of frontline staff is excellent and will have a positive impact on every day practice.

Finally, the UNCRC should be adopted \ incorporated into Jersey's legislative programme sooner rather than later.
