It's all about the Dean Today, he saw no wrong, heard no wrong and got it all wrong.

But he's in the Clear?

 “Given that the Terms of Reference of the Steel Review clearly state that upon receipt the Bishop
of Winchester will supply a copy of the report to, amongst others the Dean and the Bailiff, can

proposes to address the way in which the matter has been handled?”

Human Rights?”





9. Deputy J.A.N. Le Fondre of St. Lawrence will ask the following question of the Chief Minister –

matters concerning the Dean and indeed the resulting damage to Jersey’s relationship with the
Diocese of Winchester?”




 10. Deputy M.R. Higgins of St. Helier will ask the following question of the Chief Minister –

Safeguarding Chair gave when deciding not to instigate a Serious Case Review, despite having
