According to the latest data collected by Drees, 15% of young people in child welfare services (Ase) have a disability and are more likely to be affected by mental, behavioral or communication difficulties.
In this study, Office of Research, Research, Evaluation and Statistics (Dress) brings together and synthesizes a wide range of available statistics on child welfare (CSA). In particular, it details the various measures taken, the characteristics of the beneficiaries and expenditures by sector. To do this, it relies on several sources, in particular the Social Assistance Survey, which is conducted annually among departments. The work also presents the first results from the Child Protection Agencies and Services (ES-PE) survey, which will be conducted in 2022.
As of December 31, 2022, minors and adults under the age of 21 benefited from 381,000 child welfare measures (ASE). More than half of these (55%) are reception measures outside the usual living environment; grants (45%) correspond to educational activities (family intervention by social workers) carried out with young people or their families. These measures are usually implemented following judicial decisions (70% of educational actions and 78% of reception measures in ASE).
Focus on minors and persons with disabilities monitored by ASE
The Social Assistance Survey asks departments each year about the number of young beneficiaries of the ASE measure issued by the Departmental Disability Center (MDPH), which has administrative recognition of disability. However, this information is not available to most communities. However, other sources, through occasional national surveys, can quantify the number of these young people. The latter have specific and sometimes complex needs that are appropriately catered for, taking into account the range of existing disabilities and the reasons leading to the decision to be cared for by ASE services.
In particular, according to the latest version of the Survey of Institutions and Services for Children and Adults with Disabilities (ES-Handicap 2018), at the end of 2018, 25,400 young people supported by medical social institutions for children or adolescents benefited from ASE measures. They account for 15% of all young people with disabilities supported by these agencies (1).Most of them benefited from ASE’s hospitality measures (57%,
