The attestation of good repute becomes mandatory for professionals working with disabled children

The certificate of good repute is an official document guaranteeing that a person does not have a written conviction in bulletin No. 2 of the criminal record or on the automated criminal record of perpetrators of sexual and violent offenses (FIJAISV) that prevents him from intervening with minors. Steps are being taken to obtain it via a dedicated platform depending on your status.

It has been mandatory since October 2025 for all professionals and volunteers working in the field of child protection and early childhood care (childminders, family assistants, professionals and volunteers in nurseries, homes, etc.). Since 1^er in february 2026, it is also applicable to persons entering into an adoption procedure.

Deployment for professionals and volunteers accompanying children with disabilities

The government is continuing its efforts to protect the most vulnerable by extending the system to those involved in a facility or forensic service accompanying children with disabilities. 7 regions have just introduced the obligation:

• Grand-Est
• Hauts-de-France
• Île-de-France;
• Normandy;
• Occitania;
• The Meeting;
• Mayotte.

The scheme is being rolled out gradually and will be available in all regions in autumn 2026.

In the first quarter of 2027, the system will gradually be extended to professionals and volunteers working in an institution or service accompanying adults with disabilities, and in 2028 to professionals and volunteers working with the elderly.

How can you obtain a certificate of good repute if you work with children with disabilities?

Are you a professional (including trainees, apprentices, occasional or regular external workers, technical service providers) or a volunteer working in an institution or service accompanying children with disabilities? You must present your employer with a valid certificate of good repute (less than 6 months) :

• at the time of your job interview;
• then every 3 years in the course of the professional exercise.

The request for the certificate of good repute is dematerialized and is made online via a personal space. The document is then available within 15 days on this same space.
