  • Jersey Heritage Trust and the States Archivist During 2014
    STATES OF JERSEY PUBLIC RECORDS (JERSEY) LAW 2002: REPORT OF THE JERSEY HERITAGE TRUST AND THE STATES ARCHIVIST DURING 2014 Presented to the States on 28th April 2015 by the Minister for Education, Sport and Culture STATES GREFFE 2015 Price code: C R.46 2014 Annual Report on the work of Jersey Heritage and the Archivist under the Public Records (Jersey) Law 2002. Introduction In 2014 Jersey Archive became one of the earliest services and the first outside the UK to be awarded accredited status by The National Archive. The Accreditation Panel which made the award noted: ‘[The] Panel felt that this was overall a very strong application, which meets all requirements of the Accreditation Standard – one of only a few to do so in the scheme's history. They considered that the assessment demonstrated a very well run service, with a clear policy direction and an important role in the public accountability of the government of Jersey.’ The Panel also noted the importance of the role of Jersey Archive and Jersey Heritage in the local community: ‘The archive service itself and through Jersey Heritage has close links with the local community and good relationships with its stakeholders. It not only collects and preserves the history of the island but offers opportunities to participate in the work of the archive service. Such integration and good relationships contribute to the sustainability of the archive service.’ 2014 was also a year in which the archive team focused on records management and in assisting public institutions in their preparation for Freedom of Information legislation.

Appendix: 19.1 Evidence gathering Chairman’s Foreword Student suspension has been one of many school-related issues causing growing concern to public and professionals alike in recent years. Not just in terms of increasing numbers but also the more fundamental question as to what mix of social/educational/health problems may underlie this. Indeed, as was witnessed within the process of the Sub-Panel’s investigation, the issues provoked passionate opinions of the justification and effectiveness of suspension. It should thus be stated quite clearly at this point that the Sub-Panel entered into the suspension review with no preconceived ideas or ready-made solutions. For each member of the Sub-Panel, I know that I can add quite without fear of contradiction that this was very much a learning experience where our eventual collective findings and recommendations were based entirely on analysis of the experiences and evidence we were presented with.
