🇬🇧 English

This amendment expands France’s automated “SI Honorability” system so it can also generate statistics to manage honorability checks in sport, health, early childhood care, child welfare, and the protection of older and disabled people. It also updates the online request portal so eligible people can apply through FranceConnect and lets both departments and the social cohesion directorate issue the honorability certificate after checking the criminal record and sex offender files. For businesses and organizations in the affected sectors, the practical effect is tighter and more centralized screening of staff and volunteers who work with vulnerable people. The order also broadens the data collected in the system and adds new authorized users, including social cohesion directorate staff, which means compliance teams should expect more structured verification and data handling across these sectors.
