We provide the brochure “Unaccompanied child in Poland and Ukraine. Law and institutions: basic issues”.
We present the brochure “Unaccompanied child in Poland and Ukraine. Law and institutions: basic issues” which authors are Legal Counsel Agnieszka Kwaśniewska-Sadkowska and Doctor of Law Kateryna Krakhmalova in cooperation with Attorney-at-Law Olga Lepikhina.
The brochure was created in response to the growing challenges related to providing care to children migrating from Ukraine to Poland in connection with the ongoing war. It consists of two parts, the first of which describes the issues of childcare and guardianship over children in Ukraine, and the second of foster care for children in Poland. The study is a collection of the most important information on the care of Ukrainian children in Poland, which in a simple and transparent way presents the institutions existing in both legal systems. We hope that the brochure will be helpful for all people who, in their work or privately, come into contact with unaccompanied Ukrainian children and who care about their safety.
