Posted

Fearing the shortage of staff due to the health situation, the umbrella organization of day care facilities for children is asking professionals in the sector to come and lend a hand in order to avoid temporary closures.

This is an unusual appeal that has just been published by the Vaudois umbrella organization for child day care networks (FRAJE): in order to overcome a possible lack of staff in the structures of the canton, it is launching an appeal to professionals in the branch intended to temporarily strengthen the workforce affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. This is to guarantee services and avoid having to close reception centers or limit the number of places.

The FRAJE is looking for volunteers, trained in the field of extra-family care, to come and lend a hand to the educational staff. These people can contact either the reception network close to their home, or their former employer, or directly to the umbrella organization ([email protected]).

Note that, despite the urgency and temporary nature of this situation, volunteers must provide an extract from their criminal record since this is a legal requirement.
