Recommendation
to the Foster Care Services to hand over to youngsters formerly in care
the pensions perceived by the Catalan Government during
tutelage |

The
Catalan Ombudsman has suggested to the Social Welfare and Family
Department to promote the modification of the law that allows the Foster
Care Services to keep the minors under guardianship's pensions. Prior to

handed them over to youngsters once they reached legal age or the
