WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHAIR OF THE STATES EMPLOYMENT BOARD
BY DEPUTY M.B. ANDREWS OF ST HELIER NORTH
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 9th FEBRUARY 2026
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 16th FEBRUARY 2026
Question
"Will the Chair state the number of redundancies that have been made in each ministerial department since the States Employment Board was reconstituted in February 2024?"
Answer
Further to WQ.398/2025, the table below shows the number of redundancies made for each ministerial department in 2024. There have been 37 redundancies, which have been focussed on senior and middle management roles and non-frontline services. This includes 7 senior roles at Tier 1 and Tier 2 level, resulting in an annual saving of almost £1.2 million.
Data for 2025 is still undergoing audit and is not yet available. The full list of redundancies for 2025 will be included in the 2025 Annual Report and Accounts, Remuneration and Staff Report, which is due to be published in April 2026. Where the total number of redundancies for each department is less than 5, it has been redacted for data protection purposes.
