Draft Teachers' Superannuation - Amendment.

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While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Title:

Jersey Teachers Superannuation Fund – Amendment to the Draft Teachers’ Superannuation (Amendment No 2) (Jersey) Law 200- (P69/2006)

Written report – Author:

Liz Middleton, Assistant Director, Resources

Decision(s):

Approved the Draft Teachers’ Superannuation (Amendment No 2) (Jersey) Law 200- (P69/2006) – Amendment and covering report.

Reason(s) for decision:

The Jersey Teachers Superannuation Fund provides pensions and benefits for teaching staff and operates under the Teachers’ Superannuation (Jersey) Law 1979.

Following the implementation of ministerial government, the States Employment Board become the legal employer of all States’ employees, except certain office holders, such as the Police and those posts referred to in the Departments of the Judiciary and Legislature (Jersey) Law 1965. Prior to 2006 the Education, Sport and Culture Committee was the employer for teaching staff in Jersey.

As the States Employment Board is administered by the Chief Minister’s Department a further amendment is required to the Teachers’ Superannuation (Jersey) Law 1979 to allow for the definition of Minister to be that of the ‘Chief Minister’ rather than the Minister for ‘Education, Sport and Culture’.

Action required:

Lodge the Draft Teachers’ Superannuation (Amendment No 2) (Jersey) Law 200- (P69/2006) – Amendment and covering report with the Greffe on 4 July and request a debate date of 18 July 2006.
