Article R4321-90 of the French Public Health Code

When a masseur-physiotherapist discerns that a person to whom he or she is called upon to provide care is the victim of abuse or deprivation, he or she must implement the most appropriate means to protect that person by demonstrating prudence and circumspection.

In the case of a minor or a person who is unable to protect him/herself due to age or physical or mental condition, except in special circumstances that he/she consciously assesses, he/she shall alert the judicial, medical or administrative authorities.

Article R4321-90

Lorsqu’un masseur-kinésithérapeute discerne qu’une personne à laquelle il est appelé à donner des soins est victime de sévices ou de privations, il doit mettre en œuvre les moyens les plus adéquats pour la protéger en faisant preuve de prudence et de circonspection.

S’il s’agit d’un mineur ou d’une personne qui n’est pas en mesure de se protéger en raison de son âge ou de son état physique ou psychique, sauf circonstances particulières qu’il apprécie en conscience, il alerte les autorités judiciaires, médicales ou administratives.
