CHILD abuse cover-ups have probably taken place in Guernsey, according to whistleblowing Jersey politician Stuart Syvret.

The claim came just hours after Senator Syvret, who was sacked from his post as health minister last autumn, publicly announced the names of individuals he believed had been involved in a Jersey abuse cover-up.

And it coincided with Guernsey’s Health and Social Services Department announcing that it, Education and Guernsey police were liaising, with the investigation team in Jersey to ensure any concerns about Guernsey children were responded to.
