The dispute focuses on compliance with the specific accreditation required for entities providing dependency care services. According to the reporting organizations, this technical requirement is essential to ensure the quality, safety, and proper management of public funds allocated to vulnerable individuals.
In parallel to the criminal proceedings initiated by the Observatory, a local family association has filed an administrative litigation against the island institution. The involved groups argue that a lack of rigor in these accreditations could set a dangerous precedent for social services throughout Canary Islands.
“"Ignoring the legal obligation of accreditations does not only affect a specific procedure, but all entities that have met technical requirements for years to provide specialized services with guarantees."
The organizations emphasized that their actions are not driven by private interests, but by the need to protect the dignity of the users. Furthermore, they have urged public administrations to act with greater transparency and diligence to prevent unnecessary risks from being transferred to families relying on these specialized services.
