​Public policies are set by government to address problems in the community or to achieve desired outcomes. They can involve:
- laws
- strategies
- projects
- action plans
The Council of Ministers decide the types of policies that come into effect. Policies that involve laws or big changes are debated and agreed by the States Assembly.
There are a number of policy plans and ways of evaluating how well we’re doing.
Key policy plans and performance measures
Common Strategic Policy | The Common Strategic Policy sets out ministers' high level ambitions for Jersey. |
Governm​ent Plan | The Government Plan sets out the funding position for the Government, including income, and capital and revenue expenditure. |
Ministerial Plans | The Ministerial Plans set out individual Minister's priorities and the legislative programme. |
Jersey Performance Framework | The Performance Framework is where we measure the progress that Jersey makes towards achieving 'sustainable wellbeing'.
Sustainable wellbeing is a way of measuring the progress of a society, rather than focussing on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Gross Value Added (GVA). |
Government​ Pe​rformance Measures | These provide a detailed overview of the delivery of services by government departments. Key areas include heath, education, customer services, community safety and criminal justice.
