The former Haut de la Garenne children's home will not be demolished.

The Council of Ministers discussed the findings from the public consultation this morning and agreed to further work to establish the long-term use of the site.

Ministers also agreed in principle with the four recommendations of the Citizens Panel and will engage further on the detail of how to implement the recommendations.

Ministers unanimously agreed today with the consultation findings not to demolish the Haut de la Garenne site, but instead to ensure that it is redeemed through a positive use over the long-term.

We also unanimously agreed that Jersey must remember and recognise the children who we failed in the past and that we should celebrate our island’s children.

– Senator Sam Mézec, nominee for Minister for Children
