Residents are invited to take part in an independent and confidential survey of experiences of children’s social care and FNHC community nursing services in Jersey
The Jersey Care Commission (the Commission) in collaboration with the Department for Children, Young People, Education and Skills Department (CYPES) and Family Nursing and Homecare (FNHC) encourage all children, young people, families and caregivers, plus those staff and practitioners working in children’s services to complete this 10 minute survey.
The survey is designed to gather the views of these Islander’s in order to improve health and social care outcomes for children and young people in Jersey. The survey will close on Friday 25 August and a link to the online survey can be found on the Jersey Care Commission’s website.
Following a decision by the States Assembly to expand the Commission’s remit, the Commission now registers and regulates Children and Young People’s Health and Social Care services in Jersey. As a result, they are requesting that all staff working within the services and the children who are currently using fostering, adoption, social work and Independent Reviewing (IRO) and child and family services to complete a short, ten-minute survey. The Commission also welcomes responses from the parents and guardians of these children.
Becky Sherrington (pictured), Chief Inspector of the Jersey Care Commission, commented: “The Commission provides the people of Jersey with independent assurance about the quality, safety and effectiveness of their health and social care services. Our thanks to the staff working for CYPES, FNHC and the children, young people and their families who have completed our feedback survey so far. We would encourage anyone who is yet to complete the survey to please share their feedback to help support and continuously improve the inspection process. In particular if you know any children or young people who are currently using these services, please encourage them to complete the survey.
“The Commission partnered with international health and social care charity, Picker on the design and delivery of this survey to ensure we meet the highest standards when working to understand, measure and improve the quality of health and social care in Jersey and your feedback is a valuable part of the process.”
