Student Grant Orders

Information about the publication of Ministerial Decisions

A formal published “Ministerial Decision” is required as a record of the decision of a Minister (or an Assistant Minister where they have delegated authority) as they exercise their responsibilities and powers.

Ministers are elected by the States Assembly and have legal responsibilities and powers as “corporation sole” under the States of Jersey Law 2005 by virtue of their office and in their areas of responsibility, including entering into agreements, and under any legislation conferring on them powers.

An accurate record of “Ministerial Decisions” is vital to effective governance, including:

demonstrating that good governance, and clear lines of accountability and authority, are in place around decisions-making – including the reasons and basis on which a decision is made, and the action required to implement a decision
providing a record of decisions and actions that will be available for examination by States Members, and Panels and Committees of the States Assembly; the public, organisations, and the media; and as a historical record and point of reference for the conduct of public affairs

Ministers are individually accountable to the States Assembly, including for the actions of the departments and agencies which discharge their responsibilities.

The Freedom of Information Law (Jersey) Law 2011 is used as a guide when determining what information is be published. While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Subject: Changes to Student Grants Orders with effect from September 2010
Decision(s): The Minister agreed that the Law Draftsman should be requested to amend the Student Grants Orders 2009 to take account of his wishes as detailed in appendix 2 of the report mentioned above (Education (Discretionary Grants – Amounts) (Jersey) Order 2009)
Reason(s) for Decision: The Education (Jersey) Law 1999 empowers the Minister ‘by order’ to make grants for students following programmes of higher education. The Orders describe the amount of States support available, the terms and conditions under which it is available and the criteria which students and their families must meet to be eligible. Costs of tuition change annually and administrative arrangements are often modified in light of experience gained. The amended Orders are usually laid before the States in September each year.
Resource Implications: A small amount of law drafting time
Action required: Request the Law Draftsman to prepare the necessary amendment to the Order (on the basis of a brief to be prepared by the Department) for subsequent consideration by the Minister.
