About the consultation
We’re providing the opportunity for those who work with and provide services to children and young people and other stakeholders, to review and comment on the proposed statutory guidance supporting the Children and Young People (Jersey) Law 2022.
The Children and Young People (Jersey) Law 2022 is a new law to support the wellbeing of children and young people in Jersey. Statutory guidance has been drafted to explain how people should carry out their duties and responsibilities under the law.

We are also asking children and young people for their thoughts. This will help us not to miss anything when we write the new guidance and training. These will support adults who work in services like nurseries, schools, clubs, youth services, health services and the police understand what they need to do and how to do it.
The aim of the statutory guidance is to explain how those who work with and provide services to children and young people should carry out their duties and responsibilities under the law.
