French Code of Criminal Procedure
In forceIn the event of prosecution for a crime or for an offence mentioned in
article 706-47, the investigating judge or the liberty and custody judge may, ex officio or at the request of the public prosecutor, decide in his order to place the accused under judicial supervision that a copy of this order is to be sent to the person with whom the accused establishes his residence if this appears necessary to prevent a repetition of the offence.
When the person under investigation for one of the offences mentioned in the first paragraph of this article is enrolled or is due to continue his or her education in a public or private school, a copy of the order is, in all cases, sent by the examining magistrate to the education authority and, where applicable, to the head of the school concerned; the examining magistrate also informs these authorities of decisions modifying the obligations of judicial supervision that have an impact on the place or method of the person's education.
Persons to whom decisions have been forwarded pursuant to the second paragraph may only disclose the information thus obtained to staff responsible for security and order in the school and, where applicable, in the structures responsible for accommodating the pupils and to professionals, subject to professional secrecy, who are responsible for the social and health monitoring of the pupils. The sharing of this information is strictly limited to what is necessary for the performance of their duties.
Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 226-13 of the Penal Code punishing the violation of professional secrecy, the fact, for persons to whom decisions have been transmitted in application of this article or who have had knowledge of the information they contain in application of the penultimate paragraph, to communicate these decisions or their content to third parties not authorised to share this information is punishable by a fine of €3,750.
