WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHAIR OF THE STATES EMPLOYMENT BOARD

BY DEPUTY J.M. MAÇON OF ST. SAVIOUR

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 25th FEBRUARY 2020

Question

Given that, in Jersey Appointments Commission: Annual Report 2018' (R.23/2019), it was stated that "conflicts of interest [in States recruitment] are not always recorded before interviews", will the Chair explain what action, if any, has been taken to address this situation; and, if none, will he explain why that is the case?

Answer

The Chair of the Jersey Appointments Commission has introduced a standard form of recording for all stages of the interview process. This includes the Commissioner chairing the interviews to ask for any potential conflicts of interest and to record these for audit purposes.
