Overview
- Officials report more than 650,000 attestations d'honorabilité issued to professionals and volunteers in child protection and early childhood care.
- The certificate confirms no disqualifying criminal convictions and no entry in the FIJAIS registry for sexual or violent offences.
- The requirement was extended in December to adoption-approval applicants, with nationwide verification still underway for current staff and volunteers.
- Temporary or substitute staff in nursery and primary schools are not covered, prompting warnings that excluded individuals may move to less-checked sectors such as hospitals and disability services.
- CNAPE welcomes the faster QR-code verification and urges expansion to the disability sector, including child transport, while employers can dismiss workers legally barred from contact with minors.
