Public policies are set by government to address problems in the community or to achieve desired outcomes. They can involve:
- laws
- strategies
- projects
- action plans
The Council of Ministers decide the types of policies that come into effect. Policies that involve laws or big changes are debated and agreed by the States Assembly.
There are a number of policy plans and ways of evaluating how well we’re doing.
Key policy plans and performance measures
Government Programme 2022 to 2023 | The Government Programme is a plan reflecting the most important issues to Islanders, as expressed during the election. It is informed by data and evidence and focusses on the economic, social, cultural, and environmental wellbeing of Islanders both now and in the future. It includes the Common Strategic Policy, the Government Plan, the Ministerial Plans, and the Delivery Plans. |
Common Strategic Policy | The Common Strategic Policy sets out ministers' high level ambitions for Jersey from 2023 to 2026. |
Government Plan | The Government Plan sets out the funding position for the Government, including income, and capital and revenue expenditure from 2023 to 2026. |
 Ministerial Plans | The Ministerial Plans set out individual Minister's priorities and the legislative programme for 2023. |
