Question 16404 — nursery and primary education

Summary

Mr. Thierry Perez alerts the Minister of National Education to the difficulties encountered by many families faced with alleged situations of school harassment, particularly in primary schools. Although measures to prevent and deal with school bullying have been considerably strengthened in recent years, many parents remain helpless when they wish to report a situation that they considered to be worrying or insufficiently taken into account. In fact, families are often led to take multiple steps with different contacts: teachers, school management, after-school services, municipalities, academic advisors, resource teams or even academic inspection services. This multiplicity of actors, if it responds to a logic of proximity and complementarity, can nevertheless generate incomprehension, delays and sometimes a feeling of abandonment among parents already weakened by their child's situation. This problem appears particularly sensitive in primary education, where the organization of school and extracurricular time involves both national education and local authorities. In situations where parents believe that their child is the victim of harassment or repeated violence, they sometimes struggle to clearly identify the competent authority capable of intervening quickly or coordinating the different actors concerned. In a context where the preservation of the best interests of the child constitutes more than ever a national priority, in light of the numerous cases of violence, sexual assault and attacks on minors which have deeply marked public opinion these recent years and where the psychological consequences of bullying situations can be particularly serious in very young children, sometimes as early as primary school, he asks if the Government is considering simplifying reporting procedures for families. In particular, he wishes to know whether the creation of a single entry point, clearly identified and directly accessible to parents, allowing rapid referral to the competent academic services in the event of a worrying situation is being studied. Finally, he asks what measures could be taken to guarantee that each family can be immediately directed to the right contact and benefit from clear, responsive and effective support when the safety, well-being or psychological health of a child seems threatened.
