SOCIAL
SERVICES FINALLY EXPLAIN...
Social
services are support services to individuals, but who are hermetically very
closed to the public. Even the professionals often get lost in the complexity
of the various services.

explanation on how they work will allow you to understand all the ramifications
that exist and why and how to cooperate all together we fly our children. In
the interest of that? the answer is simple, in the interest of general advice

(CDED):
The CDED is
a device linked to the protection of children in France. Since the Act of March
5, 2007 all French departments should have their CDED. Today is there only 12.
Therefore only 12 departments that comply with the Act of 5 March 2007 in order
to avoid malfunctions.
The Act of
5 March 2007 reforming child protection instructs the president of the general
Council of the collection, treatment and evaluation of disturbing information

(2) THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE PUBLIC SOCIAL SERVICES:
Judicial Protection of youth is a public service which has the mission to support and educate juvenile offenders or danger that entrust the judges of the children and the juvenile court. It is a branch of the Ministry of Justice (DPJJ), which has services decentralized in regions (DRPJJ) and (DDPJJ) departments.
Setting up
a specific justice for minors, the idea dates back at the end of the 19th
century, is carried out in release (February 2, 1945 order). Juvenile courts
must focus on the measures "of protection, assistance, monitoring, and
education", and only be used at the prison that "when the
circumstances and the personality of the offender" appear to require it.
To implement this program, administrative autonomy of the prison administration
is created on September 1, 1945: the educational-correctional institution. It
directly manages public institutions of reformatory (IPES), public observation
centres of borstal (COPES), and control authorized educational institutions.
These first facilities, yet very close to the old "correction
houses", will evolve and diversify. In 1990, the educational-correctional
institution will become the judicial Protection of youth. Meanwhile, the
legislation has been completed by the order of 23 December 1958 and by the law
of 4 June 1970. These texts expand the area of intervention of the reformatory
giving him jurisdiction over judicial child protection (civil law).
Missions
and objectives
Judicial
Protection of youth missions are the protection and education of minors in
danger or subject to a judicial measure; the PJJ aims to foster their
integration and their academic, social and professional integration. The PJJ
aims before all educational. This education takes various forms: intervention
and follow-up in the context of the family environment, placement in an
institution, accommodation in homes or in foster care - but also, since 2004, followed
by imprisoned minors.
Actions and
devices
The youth in care
Three
categories of young people are supported by the PJJ: minors at risk, juvenile
delinquents and young adults social integration.
Minors at
risk
Articles
375 et seq. of the civil code organize the judicial intervention for children
at risk. "If the health, safety or morals of a non-emancipated minor are
in danger or if the conditions of his education are seriously compromised,
educational assistance measures can be ordered by justice [...]" (art.
375). Several measures can be taken by the judge to have a knowledge of the
minor and his family environment: social survey measures investigative and
educational guidance, expertise.
The
juvenile judge may entrust these different measures to the services of the
public sector by PJJ, to the services of social assistance departments
childhood or the non-profit sector empowered.
Two types
of support are possible:
-the AEMO
(educational assistance in an open environment);
-the
withdrawal of the child from its natural environment
Juvenile
offenders
The 1945
order gives priority to educational measures. Educational sanctions may be
applied to minors aged at least 10 years, and penalties - which can go up to imprisonment
- for more than 13 years. Minors accused of crime are considered by the Court
for children (less than 16 years old at the time) or by the Court of Assizes of
minors (minors (16 years old).
The young
adults from 18 to 21 years
They can
benefit to their request for a measure of judicial protection. They cater for
this to a judge of the children when they are experiencing difficulties of
social integration.
Services of
the authorized non-profit sector (APJJ)
More than
500 associations authorized by the Department of Justice support, in their
institutions and their services — more than a thousand — about two-thirds of
minors benefiting from a judicial measure, mainly in respect of educational
assistance. Because of this, they provide the home of almost all of minors of
less than 13 years justice.
(3) THE
SOCIAL SERVICES PRIVATE:
Private
social services exist in the form of associations of public benefit. In the
field of the protection of the child they are named by the judges of the
children to follow the IOE or AEMO measurements. The best-known associations in
France in this area are the children secures and the APJJ (association of
judicial protection of youth). They are not part of the general Council but are
subsidized by it, so more CG budget is important, most associations are
subsidized. They have to fill quotas and accountable to the general Council for
their grants.
Save the
children:
Better
known as various as names AVSEA, ADSEA, ALSEA, SEAPB etc., the safeguarding of
childhood and adolescence is an association law 1901 recognized of public
utility. Its social workers are employees of association.

an open environment), specialized prevention, guardianship to child welfare,
social support to housing...
THE APJJ:
The
PJJ-related, they are working under the authority of the Ministry of justice
but remains an association law 1901 recognized of public utility. Therefore, it
is not a Director but a president.
She is in
charge of AEMO or HWI and works at the request of the judges of the children.
(4) OTHER
SOCIAL SERVICES:
