This is, for the time being, a bill from the deputy Fanta Berete, which could greatly facilitate the lives of families raising their children alone. Crèches, holidays, reductions… Here is what the “solo parent” card could change.
On the same principle as the large family card, allowing parents with three or more children to benefit from numerous economic advantages, single parent families could also have their own card. This is the bill brought by the Renaissance deputy from Paris Fanta Berete, who wishes to create a “solo parent card” aimed at facilitating administrative procedures, and relieving the budget of single parents.
What benefits could single parents enjoy?
Here are the advantages offered by this “solo parent” card which could see the light of day next fall.
Facilitate administrative procedures
This card “must allow the families concerned tocertify their status without having to show their family record book or the court document attesting to the separation of the parents“ specifies the deputy to the newspaper The cross.
Economic benefits and discounts
MP wants to give single parents “reductions in supermarket chains or clothing brands (…) and why not a help with electricity bills“.
Like 2 million parents, I am at the head of a #single parent family.
We must continue the action of the government and give the possibility to each actor who wishes to contribute to the better living of single-parent families.This card will be the means! pic.twitter.com/Cdtlk134kt

Priority places in the crèche
Single parents could, with this card, benefit from reserved places in the crèche, but also for extra-curricular activities. “In Paris, in September, to register your children for the sport, you have to stand in long queues during open days to hope to get a place. Often the parents divide the task. But the single parent does not can’t split” explains Fanta Berete.
Priority solo parents for days off
The MP also proposes a priority to single parents for the choice of days off in the company. She also wants the days of “sick children” leave to be increased without taking into account the resources of single parents.
