We know this process needs to be improved

From Ian Le Marquand, Minister for Home Affairs.
I WAS interested to read your comment (JEP, 19 May) on Mrs Knight’s criticisms of the bureaucracy surrounding Criminal Record Bureau checks in Jersey. You will be pleased to know that the same concerns have prompted my department to look at how the Jersey process can be improved.
The tragic murders of two little girls by a school caretaker in 2002 resulted in Sir Michael Bichard recommending a new UK system which would promote the sharing of information. A major advantage of the registration system is that it allows on-line checking; subsequent appointments may, therefore, not need new CRB checks and the duplication of effort to which you refer may be reduced.
Jersey will soon have direct access to CRB checks – the first stage in improving safeguarding locally. The next stage is to consider extending the new UK registration scheme to the Island. My department is preparing a public consultation in order to get feedback from islanders on the idea of improving vetting locally in this way. Can I take this opportunity to encourage your readers to respond, so that I am aware of their views when making future decisions?
