New child protection rules: employee screening and safety standards

The act introduces broader obligations to check the background of people working with children and youth. It covers not only teachers but also coaches, camp counselors, and even parents helping at school. Institutions must create detailed child protection standards and update them regularly.
Key points
Employers and organizers of children's activities must check every 2 years whether an employee appears in the sex offender registry.
Parents helping at school or kindergarten must submit a declaration of no criminal record – schools will verify them in the National Criminal Register.
Hotels and collective accommodation facilities must introduce child protection standards, including procedures for verifying the identity of minors and guardians.
Volunteers, students on internships, and pupils will be exempt from fees for issuing information from the National Criminal Register.
Violations of the new obligations carry a fine of at least PLN 1,000, and in some cases arrest or restriction of liberty.
