Poland: School safety procedures for aerial threats

The West Pomeranian Board of Education in Szczecin has clarified safety protocols for schools and kindergartens in the event of an aerial threat alarm. According to procedures established by the Ministry of National Education, the Ministry of the Interior and Administration, and the Government Security Centre, children must remain under the care of their educational facility during an alarm.

Official guidelines state that parents should not come to pick up their children or gather in front of schools during such alerts. The procedures are designed to ensure order and safety, meaning school directors may refuse to release students to parents during an active alarm to maintain established security protocols.
