She recalled, as she had already announced, wanting “change the law” to make checks possible at the headquarters of these companies, and no longer just in each daycare center. “Open your account books at the General Inspectorate of Finances, at the General Inspectorate of Social Affairs [Igas]because I don’t want to continue to have parents and relationships that alert us.”demanded the minister.
She also plans to bring together “the prefects who act in the departments, asking them to cross-reference all the data available” For “identify establishments at risk” and allow controls “very targeted and very fast”. “If some do not respect safety, then we will have to close them and take responsibility for it towards the parents”, warns the minister. Five months after a shocking report from Igas on the prevention of mistreatment in nurseries, two investigative books published at the beginning of September revealed the mode of operation of certain private for-profit structures.
