Élysée Receives SOS Périscolaire as France Weighs National Action on After‑School Abuse Allegations

A working meeting with the collective is planned in the coming weeks.

Overview

  • The parents' group said the Élysée discussion was positive and that its case files were examined.
  • Two presidential advisers, Gilles Halbout and William Elman, received the delegation, according to the collective.
  • Education Minister Édouard Geffray was slated to meet the group later today, the collective said.
  • SOS Périscolaire is pushing for tighter recruitment criteria, systematic checks and sanctions, plus an independent commission akin to CIIVISE.
  • Months of reported abuse in after‑school settings — especially in Paris — exposed recruitment and alert‑handling failures, and many families consider the city's November training plan insufficient.
