Proposition de loi ouvrant la possibilité de concilier une activité professionnelle avec la fonction d'assistant familial

This French private member's bill, tabled in the National Assembly during the 17th legislature, would make it possible for an assistant familial (a professional foster carer who looks after children placed in care) to also hold another professional activity. Under current arrangements, fostering is largely treated as a full-time commitment, which can limit foster carers' ability to take on other work. The bill's title indicates a change to that position, but the details of the rules it would set are not available from the metadata alone. The main people affected would be professional foster carers in France and the children placed with them, as well as the local child welfare departments that recruit and supervise foster carers. The bill may also be relevant to employers and to people considering fostering as a career. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full legislative text.
