Guernsey born and bred, Jon has a wealth of experience within the area of children’s welfare, having trained as one of the original Tribunal Members following the inception of the 2008 Children Law. During his time, he participated in and chaired many Hearings, gathering a direct understanding of the issues faced by the islands’ young people and their families.
