The Jersey health and social services minister who helped to spark a UK-led inquiry into children's services on the island has been sacked.
Stuart Syvret, who has been a member of the island’s parliament for 17 years, was forced out when 35 state members of the Jersey assembly voted to dismiss him last week, with just 15 backing him. He was officially sacked over allegations concerning his behaviour towards social services staff, ministers and civil servants.
But Syvret claimed he had been “sacked for whistleblowing” and accused state members of “whitewashing” his concerns over children’s services, including a former practice of holding children as young as 11 in solitary confinement for 24 hours.
Last month, UK social worker Simon Bellwood claimed he was sacked from his job as centre manager at Greenfields secure unit on Jersey after blowing the whistle on the practice.
