The States have asked if Respect, Honesty, Independence,
Diversity, Citizen Empowerment, and Volunteering is important. If you want to
say YES please click on the survey
However I am curious: Do the States really need a survey
to know if Respect and Honesty are important? Are the States really unsure
about Independence, Diversity, Citizen Empowerment? Do they really need your
guidance on whether Volunteering is important to the voluntary and community
sector?
Here is my suggestion for a more honest and useful survey
1. What
are the areas (or which are the services) where Voluntary and Community Sector
can work together more effectively?
2. What
are the key barriers to Voluntary and Community Sector working together more
effectively (and how can they be overcome) ?
3. Should
the States put public funding into voluntary and community sector where these
organisations can provide services faster, better or cheaper than the
public-sector?
4. Which
public-services should the States to tender to see can best provide the
service: [a] public-sector [b] private-sector [c] voluntary and community
sector?
5. Should
the States offer their expertise (HR, Accounting, and Compliance etc.) and
infrastructure (Technology, Security etc.) into helping voluntary and community
sector be more efficient at supporting Jersey’s social and economic wellbeing.
I’d be much more interested in your answers to these
questions!
And just in case someone from the States is reading this
– YES Respect and Honesty is important (just in case you genuinely didn’t
know!)
