He wants a firm commitment from ministers to an open report that names failing staff at Health and Social Services, Education or Home Affairs, and holds them properly accountable instead of leaving them in place or just ‘shifting them sideways’. And the Senator says that if someone goes through the report – which is being undertaken over the next three months by former Devon Social Services director Andrew Williamson, CBE – prior to publication erasing names and ‘anonymising’ its contents, it will be a complete failure. The report was prompted by criticism from Health Minister Stuart Syvret, who has referred to ‘bitterly failing’ child protection standards. His criticism has led to next week’s dismissal motion in the States led by Chief Minister Frank Walker.
