Contemporary family policy in Poland offers universal programs addressed to all families in order to support their functioning (e.g. maternity and parental leave, ‘500+’ program, ‘Maluch +’ program), as well as so-called selective forms of support, targeted at a given group of people or families (e.g. family benefits for the poor families and alimony found for single-parent families or those in a difficult life situation). This study presents the characteristics of single-parent families and selected forms of support addressed to them. For this purpose, the law and literature on the subject have been analysed. The text describes the social and educational work with a single-parent family and how to apply the principle of individualization in the work with the family in order to select the services adequate for a particular family from the variety of possible solutions.
