The Lanzarote en Pie-Sí Podemos councilor in the San Bartolomé City Council, Maite Gorriz, has registered a motion that will be debated in the next municipal plenary session, in which she proposes the creation of a School for Families for those who exercise or may exercise parental functions, as stated in the Comprehensive Care for Minors Law.
According to this regulation, the City Council has the power to "create and promote information and training schools for those who exercise or may exercise parental functions and for minors", but "in the municipality, no project of these characteristics is currently being carried out", the formation explains, stating that it echoes the needs of adoptive and foster families through the Association of Adoptive Families of the Canary Islands (AFAIC).
In this regard, Maite Gorriz points out that, in addition to providing the necessary training for these families, it is also about the need to "continue working to normalize adoption and foster care so that no boy or girl who needs a family is left without one".
The motion of the insular progressive confluence wants to go further and opts for a "more diverse and inclusive" project, for those who exercise or may exercise parental functions, extending the project to all families in the municipality.
For Lanzarote en Pie- Sí Podemos, all family dynamics and models coexist with the same objective, which is to fulfill basic functions of support for the healthy development of all its members, and family schools, not only in the field of adoption or foster care, are created to help in the acquisition of this objective, since "the family is, in all cultures, the basic cell of society".
