Child protection: Gérald Darmanin wants to create a “safety order”

Regarding this "child safety order," it could be issued by the prosecutor, upon "reporting and in the event of probable danger," writes Gérald Darmanin, without specifying the legislative framework for this measure. In March, a bill tabled in the National Assembly provided for the creation of a "provisional protection order," inspired by a recommendation from the Independent Commission on Incest and Sexual Violence Against Children (Ciivise).

In the letter sent Tuesday, the minister also indicated his intention to establish a "status for child victims," "similar to the work accomplished in recent years for women victims of domestic violence." A mission tasked with making proposals is to be launched. The text also mentions "working from the start of the school year" with the Ministry of National Education to ensure that young people placed in PJJ structures have "at least the same number of hours of lessons as in traditional schooling."
