Request

Could you please advise the number young persons from the jersey education system who have shadowed ministers or the civil service over the last 10 years, the schools they have come from and whether there have been any looked after children within that cohort?

Response

Information relating to work shadowing schemes can be found here:

Work shadowing (16 to 19 year olds) 

The table below represents the number of students within the work shadowing schemes who have shadowed a Government of Jersey employee over the last 10 years:

​Year ​Total Number of Government of Jersey Placements
​2010​10
​2011​14
​2012​18
​2013​19
​2014​21
​2015​9
​2016​24
​2017​6
​2018​6
​2019​<5

 

Due to the small number from each school, the Department have determined that to provide a breakdown by school would likely breach the privacy of the individuals and therefore, Article 25 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) 2011 Law has been applied. Disclosure control has also been applied where number of pupils is less than five.

Being a child who is looked after is not recorded as it not necessary to hold this information for the purposes of the scheme.

Article Applied
Article 25 Personal information

(1) Information is absolutely exempt information if it constitutes personal data of which the applicant is the data subject as defined in the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2018.

(2) Information is absolutely exempt information if –

(a) it constitutes personal data of which the applicant is not the data subject as defined in the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2018; and

(b) its supply to a member of the public would contravene any of the data protection principles, as defined in that Law.

(3) In determining for the purposes of this Article whether the lawfulness principle in Article 8(1)(a) of the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2018 would be contravened by the disclosure of information, paragraph 5(1) of Schedule 2 to that Law (legitimate interests) is to be read as if sub-paragraph (b) (which disapplies the provision where the controller is a public authority) were omitted.
