Family support moved up a week

Anticipating closure of school activities, in addition to other measures planned for the first week of January, has been decreed due to the worsening epidemiological situation in Portugal.

Family support moved up a week

The government has decided to bring forward support for families to next week, as the closure of crèches and ATLs (ateliers de loisirs), which was scheduled for the week of confinement between January 3 and 9, will take place on December 25.

“Nous aurons des soutiens familiaux. Au cours de la première semaine de confinement, les écoles ne fonctionneront pas, car c’est la semaine entre Noël et le Nouvel An, donc l’aide ne s’applique qu’aux parents d’enfants dans les crèches ou dans les ATL, qui fermeront. 

Dans la deuxième semaine, celle qui était déjà prévue et qui est le premier janvier, les écoles serait déjà ouverte et par conséquence, nous accorderons ce soutien familial aussi aux parents qui ont des enfants dans les écoles”, a déclaré le sous-secrétaire d’État du Premier ministre, Tiago Antunes, parlant à RTP3.

En pratique, explique Tiago Antunes, “le soutien est le même, il vise simplement à soutenir ce qui était censé être ouvert et qui est finalement fermé : la première semaine, ce sont les crèches et l’ATL, la deuxième semaine, ce sont aussi les écoles”.

The early closure of these school activities, in addition to other measures planned for the first week of January, was decreed due to the worsening epidemiological situation in Portugal.

This aid is intended for those with children under 12, but in the case of teleworking, it only applies to parents whose children are in school up to 4th grade.
