The Crisis Intervention Center in Lublin has Standards for the Protection of Minors.
The Standards for the Protection of Minors is a document that provides information on what to do when harm comes to you or another child.
The Standards of Protection contain procedures and rules to help every child feel safe.
The Standards of Protection indicate where to seek help and how to respond when you witness or suffer violence from: peers, family members, school staff, others.
