Local policy context<br />
Local strategies<br />
Seine-Saint-Denis is spearheading the fight for the end of violence against women<br />
with a two decades old Observatory pushing for innovative policies.<br />
The County has an Equality and Diversity Service and a Discrimination Observatory,<br />
that is monitoring discrimination and conducting awareness raising activities and<br />
collective actions in court.<br />
Distribution of competencies and funding<br />
The département of Seine-Saint-Denis is in charge of social support, social and professional<br />
integration, health prevention and child welfare including unaccompanied<br />
migrants. The county also developed policies in the areas of sports, culture, citizenship,<br />
education and international solidarity.<br />
There are 40 cities in Seine-Saint-Denis whose competences include primary school<br />
and complementary social support (analysing social needs to identify vulnerable<br />
groups, registration duties).<br />
Four “Intercommunalités” group cities that share common services in areas including<br />
economic development, urban planning, the reception of travellers / Roma, and<br />
urban cohesion including housing.<br />
Above the département, the region (Ile-de-France) is responsible for urban planning,<br />
transport and mobility, economic development, sustainable development, high<br />
school management and professional training policy.<br />
Good practice and elements to share<br />
Healthcare outreach work<br />
The Department helps to mobilise and support the various actors in the territory<br />
in order to promote a comprehensive outreach approach to people who do not<br />
have access to healthcare, e.g. homeless people or people living in shanty towns.<br />
This includes a mobile Maternal and Child Protection (PMI) team that was set up in<br />
partnership with Médecins du Monde and which includes midwives, social workers,<br />
nursery nurses and Romanian-speaking health mediators. It offers pre/postnatal<br />
consultations and visits, opens up healthcare entitlements and liaises with other<br />
services.<br />
CAMNA unit supporting unaccompanied minors<br />
CAMNA provides accompaniment for young people who arrived as unaccompanied<br />
minors in France. Many see their status challenged by state authorities, which puts<br />
them at risk of losing residency rights. The service ensures access to housing and<br />
accompanies the youngsters in the juridical steps linked to their status. It offers<br />
social support, leisure activities, psychological accompaniment and mentoring. One<br />
of its main activities is support in finding professional training and work in cooperation<br />
with four vocational schools, which often is a key to regularisation should their<br />
status as minor not be granted by the state authorities.<br />
First reception and integration in the narrower sense is under the control of the<br />
state. This also includes emergency housing.<br />
Seine Saint Denis manages 35m of ESF funds and can apply for the national AMIF<br />
programme.<br />
