  • The Jersey Way”- Moving on Iselin Jones, BA(Hons), MA, LLB
    “The Jersey Way”- moving on Iselin Jones, BA(Hons), MA, LLB. Paralegal, Corbett Le Quesne. Phil Palmer LLB, MA. Associate Professor, Institute of Law Jersey Abstract The 2017 Jersey Independent Care Inquiry report identified decades of significant child protection failures within the care system in Jersey. It also highlighted the ‘Jersey Way’ which it described as ‘a failure to establish a culture of openness and transparency, leading to a perception at least, of collusion and cover up’. The report made numerous recommendations designed to improve child protection arrangements on the Island. This article discusses the extent to which the outcome of the public inquiry will deliver justice for the victims of abuse. We argue that Inquiries are influenced by political bias, often failing to deliver what Burton and Carlen term discourse closure. We suggest adopting McAlinden and Naylor’s hybrid approach to justice, involving a combination of procedural and restorative justice, to bring the victims a true sense of closure. Key Words: Public Inquiries. Child Abuse. Procedural and Restorative Justice. The ‘Jersey Way’. Introduction The Jersey Independent Care Inquiry Report (JICIR) was hoped to draw a line once and for all over one of Jersey’s darkest periods. The report was initiated by the launch of Operation Rectangle in September 2007, originally an investigation into allegations of historical sexual abuse within the Jersey Sea Cadets before it expanded to include the former children’s home Haut de la Garenne (HDLG). It was only a few weeks later that revelations began pouring out from the HDLG investigation site. The island was in the throes of a moral panic- to the point where a coconut shell was mistaken for a child’s skull.

  • The Island Identity Policy Development Board Jersey's
    The Island Identity Policy Development Board Jersey’s National and International Identity Interim Findings Report 1 Foreword Avant-propos What makes Jersey special and why does that matter? Those simple questions, each leading on to a vast web of intriguing, inspiring and challenging answers, underpin the creation of this report on Jersey’s identity and how it should be understood in today’s world, both in the Island and internationally. The Island Identity Policy Development Board is proposing for consideration a comprehensive programme of ways in which the Island’s distinctive qualities can be recognised afresh, protected and celebrated. It is the board’s belief that success in this aim must start with a much wider, more confident understanding that Jersey’s unique mixture of cultural and constitutional characteristics qualifies it as an Island nation in its own right. An enhanced sense of national identity will have many social and cultural benefits and reinforce Jersey’s remarkable community spirit, while a simultaneously enhanced international identity will protect its economic interests and lead to new opportunities. What does it mean to be Jersey in the 21st century? The complexity involved in providing any kind of answer to this question tells of an Island full of intricacy, nuance and multiplicity. Jersey is bursting with stories to tell. But none of these stories alone can tell us what it means to be Jersey. In light of all this complexity why take the time, at this moment, to investigate the different threads of what it means to be Jersey? I would, at the highest level, like to offer four main reasons: First, there is a profound and almost universally shared sense that what we have in Jersey is special.

We have been world-famous as clothing producers, farmers, fishermen and, most recently, as financiers. Digital represents Jersey’s great opportunity to enhance our position as a knowledge-based economy, delivering prosperity and stability for the Island and its people. “Digital” is the world of Internet-enabled technology, within both the sector of specialist businesses developing new uses for online technology, as well as the wider economy that relies on the Internet. The development of the digital sector will play an important role in the Government’s efforts to diversify the economy and pursue productivity-led economic growth. Over the life of this Framework, the high-productivity digital sector will become an increasingly significant driver of the Island’s prosperity. As we look to the future, Jersey will become one of the most attractive locations in the world to run a digital enterprise.

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.
