Question 11919 — children

Summary

Mr. Perceval Gaillard alerts the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and Disabled People to the limits of the certificate of good repute. In a letter dated August 14, 2025, addressed to the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families, the MP requested from the association Listen-moi Protège-moi Aide-moi (EPA) and the collective “Stop VIF Protect our children” the extension of the obligation to the certificate of good repute in Reunion. The MP would like to recall that, winner of the 2025 Prizes of the Health System Users Foundation, the EPA association, alongside the “Stop VIF Let's Protect Our Children” Collective, is fully mobilized for the defense of children's rights, support for families and the prevention of violence. Today, the certificate of good repute applies throughout the territory and Mr. welcomes it. However, the MP is scandalized by numerous limits, which openly hinder the objective of protecting children. On the website intended for the certificate of good repute, everyone can read: “The process is strictly reserved for people in child welfare and childcare for young children (under 3 years old). Any request for certification by persons involved in other sectors is prohibited (teaching, nursery, after-school, summer camp, health, sport, structures for the elderly and disabled) and may give rise to prosecution.” Or again: “Childcare workers working for private employers (parents) are not affected by the obligation to provide the certificate of good standing to their employer”. “The humanity of a society is measured by the attention that she bears to her children", recalls judge Édouard Durand, who also speaks of a "system which organizes impunity for the perpetrators of violence". Leaving the current limits of the certificate of good repute as is means consciously participating in this system of impunity for perpetrators of violence and allowing it to continue. Is this the society we want for children? Just like the EPA association and the “Stop VIF” collective Let’s protect our children,” the MP refuses to turn a blind eye to this aberrant situation. He asks her if she will immediately extend the obligation to provide a certificate of good repute to all professionals and volunteers working with minors, in order to ensure a safe, ethical and protective framework for all children.
