New obligations for protecting minors from sexual crimes

The law introduces new duties for employers and other organizers who allow people to work or engage in other activities related to minors. Every such person must be checked against criminal registers and submit appropriate declarations. New regulations also require educational system units, other organizational units, foster families, family children's homes, and entities providing collective accommodation to have child protection standards and give them the right to verify the identity of adults accompanying children.
Key points
Employers and other organizers must check criminal registers for every person allowed to work or engage in other activities related to minors.
People working with children must re-submit certificates of no criminal record every 2 years.
Schools, kindergartens, hotels, and other institutions must have written child protection standards.
Hotels and accommodation places have the right to demand documents from adults accompanying children, and call the police if refused.
Parents helping at school (e.g., on a trip) must submit a declaration of no criminal record.
Violations of the new duties are punishable by arrest, restriction of liberty, or a fine of at least PLN 1,000.
