Question 1138 — children

Summary

Mr. Christophe Barthès questions the Minister Delegate to the Minister of Solidarity, Autonomy and Equality between Women and Men, responsible for the family and early childhood, on the critical situation of social assistance for children (ASE) in the country. Lack of educators, insufficient places in reception centers, exhaustion of family assistants, are all difficulties encountered by this very important sector. THE Measures announced on November 20, 2023, such as strengthening prevention means or the 1,500 euros for young people leaving the ASE, are going in the right direction, but remain largely insufficient and not up to the challenges of the sector. Family carers do a remarkable job, but their pay is far too low. This is also the case for maintenance compensation, which is also unequal depending on the department. They must face absurd laws or decisions such as maintaining parental authority for a placed child, or maintaining family allowances for parents who no longer have custody of their children. In addition, we need to provide more support to young people who are completing their ASE course, because 40% of young people aged 25 on the street have benefited from a course in child welfare. The aid of 1,500 euros proposed does not appear sufficient and therefore does not address this issue. The MP would like to know if family assistants will be recognized as social workers in order to improve their working conditions. Finally, he would also like to know what measures will be taken to help them and to support young people once their child welfare journey is over.
