Victoria Li

Deputy for St Helier North · Independent

Member of the Public Accounts Committee · Chair of Children, Education and Home Affairs Scrutiny Panel

Victoria Li

Victoria Li was first elected to the States Assembly in June 2026 as Deputy for St Helier North. Since 2026 she has served as Chair of the Children, Education and Home Affairs Scrutiny Panel and as a member of the Public Accounts Committee.

Li campaigned on improving everyday conditions in St Helier North alongside broader island-wide reforms. Her specific pledges included delivering a School Routes Plan with safe pavements, crossings and firm delivery dates; introducing quarterly reporting on construction traffic at the Overdale hospital site; and pursuing a bus review shaped by passenger input. On education, she committed to a broader primary curriculum spanning science, arts, technology and outdoor learning, faster special educational needs diagnosis with clearer teacher support, and the creation of an independent Education Leadership Board. She also pledged to support affordable childcare, work towards delivery of the Women's Health Strategy within the current term, and push for a published mental health waiting-time standard. Further promises covered key-worker housing, rooftop solar on public buildings, protection of the 1% budget allocation for arts, culture and heritage, legal recognition of a Jersey Social Enterprise Model, and a coordinated approach to capital investment. She also committed to holding monthly drop-in surgeries rotating across the constituency, with no appointment required.

Attendance

Turnout in the States Assembly — 2026–2030 Assembly

The States Assembly records a reason against every non-vote, so being ill, off-island, on parental leave or barred by a declared interest can be told apart from simply not turning up. Absences with an accepted reason are removed from both sides of the rate rather than held against the member.

5 votes in 2026–2030 Assembly so far — fewer than the 10 needed before this scorecard will publish a participation rate. The record to date:

Manifesto

Promises, and how they voted — 2026–2030 Assembly

Grouped by policy area. Each promise carries the recorded States Assembly votes that test it, and whether this member voted to deliver — open any vote for the motion and the reasoning. A vote counts against a promise only where it plainly contradicts it; where a member voted against one particular measure but the breach is arguable, the vote is shown and set aside rather than counted. Where no recorded vote bears on a promise, an AI delivery verdict assesses progress against the public record.

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedmedium confidence

    Deputy Victoria Li was elected on 7 June 2026 and the 2026-2030 Assembly first sat on 19 June 2026, leaving only approximately three and a half months before the assessment date of 1 October 2026. No evidence was found of Li lodging a proposition, making a speech, or publishing a written question specifically on key-worker housing since taking her seat; she was appointed Chair of the Children, Education and Home Affairs Scrutiny Panel, a role focused on education and children rather than housing. While key-worker housing remains an active policy topic in Jersey — with the Government's Priority Key Role Accommodation Policy updated in May 2026 and a new Housing Minister (Deputy Malcolm Ferey) appointed in June 2026 — no independent source links Deputy Li to concrete advocacy on this issue in the Assembly to date.

    Health And Care
    No recorded vote - delivery verdictIn progressmedium confidence

    Deputy Li was elected on 7 June 2026 and took office on 12 June 2026, giving the Assembly fewer than four months in which to act. The Jersey Women's Health Strategy — which had been scrapped by Health Minister Tom Binet in April 2024 and reinstated via a Budget amendment in December 2025 — was confirmed by Assistant Health Minister Andy Howell in September 2026 to be on track for publication before the end of 2026, with a stakeholder workshop held in May 2026 to shape priorities. However, as of 11 September 2026, the Jersey Evening Post reported that no dedicated funding had been allocated and no business case submitted, with the 2027 Budget not yet finalised. Li herself chairs the Children, Education and Home Affairs Scrutiny Panel rather than the Health panel, placing delivery primarily in the hands of the Health Ministry, though the commitment to publish the strategy this year represents clear active progress within the 2026–2030 term.

  • No recorded votespecific

    Will push for the publication of a mental health waiting time standard.

    “A published mental health waiting time standard.”

    Health And Care
    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedmedium confidence

    Deputy Victoria Li was elected to the 2026–2030 Jersey Assembly on 7 June 2026 and the new Assembly first sat on 19 June 2026, leaving only approximately 3.5 months before the assessment date of 1 October 2026. No evidence was found of a formally published mental health waiting time standard introduced or secured through Li's advocacy during this period; the Jersey Mental Health Strategy 2026–2030 was published by the Government on 19 March 2026 — before the election — and references operational figures but does not constitute a published accountable standard. Li chairs the Children, Education and Home Affairs Scrutiny Panel rather than the Health and Social Security Scrutiny Panel, limiting her direct institutional leverage on this specific commitment in the short term.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Reinstating the States Grant to the Social Security Fund would restore funding that supports social security benefits including those underpinning childcare affordability for families.

      Considered and set aside: this vote has not been adjudicated as a clear breach.

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedmedium confidence

    Deputy Victoria Li was elected in June 2026 and was appointed Chair of the Children, Education and Home Affairs Scrutiny Panel on 30 June 2026, placing her in a scrutiny rather than ministerial role. As of 1 October 2026 — fewer than four months into the new Assembly term — no proposition, formal review, written question, or ministerial engagement specifically targeting a broader primary curriculum (science, arts, technology, critical thinking, outdoor learning) has been identified in States Assembly records or Jersey media. Her panel's documented activity since June 2026 has focused on SEND/inclusion funding, childcare, and children and families hearings rather than primary curriculum breadth. Given the short window since the Assembly first sat on 19 June 2026, this finding reflects an absence of visible early action on this specific promise rather than a judgment of failure.

  • No recorded votedirectional

    Will push for faster special educational needs diagnosis and clearer teacher support.

    “Faster SEN diagnosis and clearer support for teachers.”

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictIn progressmedium confidence

    Deputy Li was elected on 7 June 2026 and was appointed Chair of the Children, Education and Home Affairs Scrutiny Panel on 30 June 2026 — the committee directly responsible for overseeing SEND policy. By 14 July 2026 she had already filed a written question (WQ.119/2026) to the Minister for Education and Lifelong Learning specifically about SEND and inclusion funding, indicating active early engagement with this commitment. However, the new Assembly has been sitting for only about three and a half months as of 1 October 2026, and no specific proposition, report or ministerial action attributable to Li on faster SEN diagnosis or clearer teacher support has yet been recorded; the promise remains squarely in progress rather than delivered.

  • No recorded votespecific

    Will support creation of an independent Education Leadership Board drawing on diverse stakeholder expertise.

    “An independent Education Leadership Board bringing together students, teachers, parents, local specialists and global expertise to improve outcomes.”

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedmedium confidence

    Deputy Victoria Li was elected on 7 June 2026 and the new 2026–2030 Assembly first sat on 19 June 2026. By 1 October 2026 — fewer than four months into the term — no proposition, ministerial statement, or review specifically concerning the creation of an independent Education Leadership Board had been surfaced in States Assembly records, gov.je, or Jersey press. Li was appointed Chair of the Children, Education and Home Affairs Scrutiny Panel on 30 June 2026 (JEP, 15 July 2026), giving her a relevant platform, but the Scrutiny Panel's remit is oversight rather than policy creation; establishing such a Board would require ministerial or governmental action from Education Minister Catherine Curtis, and no corresponding commitment from that quarter has been reported. The short elapsed window means this reflects an absence of evidence at an early stage rather than a deliberate failure.

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedmedium confidence

    Deputy Li was elected on 7 June 2026 and, as of 1 October 2026, has been appointed Chair of the Children, Education and Home Affairs Scrutiny Panel — not a capital or finance body — with no evidence she has lodged a proposition, published a report, or taken any formal Assembly action specifically advocating a joined-up capital investment approach backed by a clear economic case. A closely aligned structural reform — the Jersey Capital Investment Fund (JCIF), establishing a ring-fenced, coordinated capital fund underpinned by the 25-year 'Investing in Jersey 2026-2050' strategy — was approved by the States Assembly on 25 March 2026, several weeks before Li's election, driven entirely by the Minister for Treasury (Deputy Elaine Millar) and the Council of Ministers. The promise therefore remains outstanding as Li's own contribution: she has had only ~4 months in office, the relevant reform pre-dates her term, and no independent reporting links her to further action on this commitment.

      Replacing the Government Plan with a Budget framework could advance a more coordinated, clearly evidenced approach to capital investment, though this is primarily a process/nomenclature change.

    Deputy Victoria Li was elected to the 2026–2030 Assembly on 7 June 2026 and, as of 1 October 2026, has been in office for less than four months. She was appointed Chair of the Children, Education and Home Affairs Scrutiny Panel on 30 June 2026 — a role focused on education rather than economic diversification — and no proposition, ministerial statement, or formal review specifically advancing her manifesto commitment on economic diversification, retaining young Islanders, or attracting talent has been found in official States Assembly records or independent Jersey media. The economic diversification agenda is being led by the newly appointed Minister for Sustainable Economic Development (Deputy Gerald Voisin), not by Deputy Li, and no evidence of her active involvement in that policy area beyond her manifesto pledge has surfaced.

  • No recorded votespecific

    Will pursue legal recognition of a Jersey Social Enterprise Model with asset lock and outcome-focused public contracts.

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedmedium confidence

    Deputy Victoria Li was elected on 7 June 2026 and the 2026–2030 Assembly first sat on 19 June 2026; as of 1 October 2026 she has been a Member for fewer than four months. No proposition, ministerial statement, or formal review relating to legal recognition of a Jersey Social Enterprise Model or an asset-lock framework has been identified in States Assembly publications, Hansard records, or press sources during that period. Li's own manifesto acknowledged that Jersey lacks the legal and procurement framework needed, confirming this is a prospective legislative commitment; her appointment as Chair of the Children, Education and Home Affairs Scrutiny Panel places her in a scrutiny rather than executive role, adding a further step before she could advance primary legislation on this topic.

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictIn progressmedium confidence

    Deputy Victoria Li was elected to the 2026–2030 Assembly on 7 June 2026 and the new Assembly first sat on 19 June 2026, meaning she has had only about three months in office as of 1 October 2026. The 1% allocation for arts, culture and heritage was already protected before her election: a challenge to the formula was voted down in October 2024 (P.69/2024), and the Government Plan 2026–2029 (published February 2026) explicitly committed to maintaining arts, culture and heritage budgets at 1% of revenue expenditure — with total ACH spend calculated at 1.2% after a broader review of departmental contributions. No independent evidence has emerged of Li personally sponsoring or progressing a proposition on this matter since taking office, which is unsurprising given the short timeframe; the underlying policy she pledged to protect is currently intact.

    Victoria Li was elected as Deputy for St Helier North on 7 June 2026 and took her seat when the 2026-2030 Assembly first sat on 19 June 2026. As of 1 October 2026 — only approximately 3.5 months into the term — no independent reporting from Bailiwick Express, ITV Channel, BBC Jersey, gov.je or statesassembly.je was found confirming that any drop-in constituency surgery had been held or announced. Evidence of the promise exists solely in her pre-election manifesto materials on vote.je and victoria.je.

    Deputy Victoria Li was elected on 7 June 2026 and the 2026-2030 Assembly first sat on 19 June 2026, leaving only approximately three and a half months to the assessment date. No evidence was found of Li lodging a proposition, written question, or ministerial statement specifically pushing for cross-government measurable targets on all policies, nor of any formal Overdale transparent-progress or quarterly-reporting mechanism attributable to her advocacy. She was appointed Chair of the Children, Education and Home Affairs Scrutiny Panel on 30 June 2026, a role focused on education rather than the governance and Overdale accountability commitments at issue. The new Council of Ministers published its Common Strategic Policy 2026-2030 (with 11 priorities across four pillars) in late September 2026, but that document does not appear to reflect Li's specific demand for measurable targets on every policy or a dedicated Overdale reporting regime. Given the very short window since the Assembly convened, this is recorded as outstanding rather than as evidence of failure.

    Deputy Victoria Li took office on 12 June 2026, giving her fewer than four months in post as of the assessment date. No independently reported evidence was found of a joint initiative between Li and Constable Inna Gardiner to identify and reopen underused land or deliver accessible playgrounds in St Helier North; the promise therefore remains at the manifesto stage. Constable Gardiner has made related public statements on outdoor space and the Play Strategy (Jersey Evening Post, 27 September 2026), indicating the broader policy environment is active, but no specific collaboration with Li has been recorded.

She was appointed Chair of the Children, Education and Home Affairs Scrutiny Panel on 30 June 2026, a role focused on education rather than public-sector reform, civil service pay or third-sector governance. The only traceable Assembly activity relating to the promise was a brief ministerial exchange on 14 July 2026 in which a minister agreed to share civil service pay data directly with Deputy Li — indicating early-stage information-gathering rather than any substantive advocacy, proposition or policy initiative on fair pay frameworks, government-business systems or third-sector support.
