Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘to be considered in plenary session’)
In plain language
- The Committee's rules are being updated: its remit will cover safety measures in childcare, submitted case files will remain strictly confidential, and formal advice will be published anonymously.
- This mainly impacts healthcare providers, childcare centres, welfare institutions, and foster carers who appeal against an administrative decision.
- As a citizen, you will gain better insight into the quality of care facilities through published decisions, while your personal data remains strictly protected if you submit an appeal.
