of violence against children within a family after

The paper presents immediate consequences of law concerning family violence
reformation, which was done in 2010, from the child as a victim perspective. It was assumed
that the most precise picture of the effects of the new act, is the one of the local activities –
undertake by districts, because of the direct proximity to the family violence victims.
The undertaken research of random chosen districts (with the use of a questionairy) showed,
that a year after new regulations, law activities (act obligations) were fulfilled in majority
of Polish districts, whereas the practical ones such as: organizing institutions of support
for victims, institutions of counselling or special programmes for families with the problem
of child abuse, are satisfied, yet. On the base of the result of this special survey some
recommendations are proposed.
