What we do

We run Children’s Assistance Centers – facilities where children who have been victims of crime receive specialized, interdisciplinary, and free assistance under one roof.

As part of our Telephone Support service, we provide anonymous, free, round-the-clock, and confidential support to young people via remote forms of contact. If you would like to learn more about the support we offer, please visit our websites:

We help children who have experienced cyberbullying, exposure to harmful content online (including pornography, grooming, and online sexual abuse), or other difficult situations related to the use of screen devices.

We deal with broadly understood issues related to the safety of children and young people on the Internet, including problems related to violence involving electronic media and the Internet, harmful online content, sexting, online grooming, dangerous contacts and Internet abuse.

We support parents of young children. We protect young children (up to 6 years of age) from harm through education, support and therapy for parents. We know that violence against children often occurs because of parents’ helplessness and confusion, their frustration and lack of parenting skills. We offer parents free psychological and psychiatric consultations, therapy sessions and psychoeducational workshops, support groups and therapy groups focused on mentalisation and perceiving the parent as a beacon.

We care about children’s issues by actively engaging in the Polish law-making process. Our goal is to ensure protection for the youngest in selected areas of legislation. We carry out lobbying activities by preparing statements addressed to decision-makers, issuing opinions on new and amended legal acts, participating in the work of selected parliamentary committees, diagnosing areas requiring the creation or amendment of laws, and raising politicians’ awareness of issues related to the legal protection of children.

We conduct educational activities for professionals working with children: teachers, carers, educators, social workers, doctors, nurses, police officers, lawyers, etc., who can identify the problem and intervene. We organise training courses, seminars, conferences and webinars, and we also develop publications, guides and e-learning courses.

We believe that through joint action by non-governmental organisations, in cooperation with public institutions, we can effectively realise the vision of a world in which children are subjects of the rights guaranteed by the Convention on the Rights of the Child. We strive to ensure that all children have a safe childhood and are treated with respect for their dignity and individuality. On 9 October 2023, we established the National Coalition for the Protection of Children together with 15 other organisations.

Social campaigns on various aspects of child abuse raise public awareness of the dangers, sensitivity to the problem and the ability to respond appropriately to violence. We strive to ensure that adults know that they are morally responsible for the youngest members of society and are able to effectively protect their rights.

Prevention is the most important way to reduce the scale of child abuse, including sexual abuse. That is why we are implementing the Finnish organisation Protect Children’s ReDirection programme in Poland, which is a self-help tool based on CBT theory for people who use or seek out child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

We publish the quarterly magazine Dziecko Krzywdzone (Abused Child). Dziecko Krzywdzone. Teoria, badania, praktyka (Abused Child: Theory, Research, Practice) is a free magazine aimed at professionals who help children, academics, students and journalists. We publish scientific articles presenting research results, theoretical concepts and practical models for preventing child abuse. The quarterly magazine Dziecko Krzywdzone. Teoria, badania, praktyka is included in the list of magazines awarded points by the Ministry of Education and Science.

Every two minutes, we receive a call from a child who is in crisis and needs help. Every year, we intervene approximately 500 times alongside the police and emergency services when a child’s life or health is at risk. Every day in Poland, children experience sexual abuse. To help them effectively, we need your financial support! Every amount makes a difference.

We organise training courses, seminars, conferences and webinars on various forms of child abuse, including domestic and peer violence, sexual abuse, neglect and online threats.

Child Protection Standards is the first programme in Poland aimed at all entities where adults work with children, promoting the creation of safe facilities. Check out our free and comprehensive materials and tools to help you implement the standards.
