Jersey Teachers' Superannuation Fund (JTSF): Appointments

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.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

Jersey Teachers Superannuation Fund (JTSF) Management Board appointments

Decision(s):

Following consideration by the States Employment Board (SEB) for the Chief Minister to agree to:

  1. appoint Michael De La Haye OBE on recommendation of Education Minister;
  2. re-appoint the nominees (as detailed in the attached report) to the Jersey Teachers’ Superannuation Fund Management Board for a further term of 3 years.

Reason(s) for Decision:

Under the Teachers’ Superannuation (Administration) (Jersey) Order 2007 Article 3 – Appointment of members of Management Board, the Chief Minister shall appoint to be members of the Management Board:

 

6 Employer representatives of whom –

  • 2 shall be persons recommended by the Minister for Treasury and Exchequer;
  • 2 shall be persons recommended by the Minister for Education;
  • 2 shall be any persons that the Chief Minister thinks fit; and

 

6 Member representatives, who shall have been selected in the manner that the Chief Minister shall agree with the associations that appear to the Minister for Education to represent the interests of teachers.

 

Members of the Management Board shall hold office for 3 years and shall be eligible for re-appointment. The Chief Minister may at any time remove from office any member of the Management Board appointed by him or her under this Article.

 

Due to the decision of an employer representative to resign their position on the Management Board, there was a requirement to appoint 1 new member. Following a fair and transparent selection process in line with the appointment commission guidelines a new member was chosen for appointment to the Management Board.

The current 3 year term for the remaining members of the Management Board is set to end on 31 December 2021 and they are eligible for reappointment to the board by the Chief Minister.

 

The recommendation to appoint/reappoint went to the SEB before being put before the Chief Minister for agreement. In 2022, a recruitment plan will be progressed to encourage diversity in applications for new members to the JTSF Management Board.
