Strengthening Child Protection: New Vetting Obligations and Safety Standards
The draft bill introduces clarified rules for vetting individuals admitted to activities with minors and mandates child protection standards for specific entities, including collective accommodation facilities. The goal is to enhance child safety and prevent sexual offenses. Changes include criminal record checks, threat reporting procedures, and the analysis of incidents resulting in the death or serious health impairment of a minor.
Key points
Employers and other organizers of activities related to upbringing, education, leisure, treatment, or care of minors must verify individuals admitted to such activities in the Register of Sexual Offenders.
Individuals admitted to activities with minors must submit information from the National Criminal Register and declarations of no criminal record, including regarding residency in other countries.
Collective accommodation facilities (e.g., hotels) are required to implement child protection standards, including rules for identifying the child and their relationship with the accompanying adult.
Parents or guardians admitted to activities organized by the entity their child attends submit a declaration of no criminal record instead of certificates from registers.
Volunteers, pupils, and students undertaking mandatory professional internships are exempt from fees for issuing information from the National Criminal Register.
