NIK has evaluated the activities of self-government units (Polish: powiaty) related to creation of and support for foster families and supervision of them, as well as those aimed at recruiting persons to provide foster families. The audit covered 24 local family support centres (Polish abbreviation: PCPR) and municipal social welfare centres (MOPS) in the years 2013–2015. The findings of the audit showed that the system for recruiting candidates for foster parents and those organising family children’s homes, and the system for supporting those already existing foster families is inefficient. The number of foster families has been decreasing, and forms of care based on families do not keep up with the needs. One of the reasons behind such a situation is low financial and institutional support for already existing foster families. While it should be remembered that being with families is not only the most beneficial for children, but it is also cheaper than being in care and education institutions.

The activities of Voluntary Labour Corps (Polish: Ochotnicze Hufce Pracy – OHP) mainly relate to young people threatened with being excluded from the education system, those who evade mandatory schooling or achieve pure results at school. These are often children from single-parent families or large families, having unemployed parents, from dysfunctional families, from families in poor financial situation and people who, despite being at young age, have already broken the law. For such people, access to education and opportunities to gain skills allowing for finding a job provide a chance for independent living. The Supreme Audit Office conducted an audit aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of OHP’s activities with regard to designing and providing professional activation for youngsters, to examine whether OHP’s offer met the requirements of the labour market, and whether those participating in OHP receive appropriate professional training and find jobs, and to what extent their jobs were stable and reflected their qualifications.
