The Polish Government Centre for Security (RCB) faced criticism regarding its emergency warning system, which was described as inaccessible to the country’s more than 5 million citizens with disabilities. Ewa Lefik-Babiasz of the Avalon Foundation noted that the use of specialized, abstract language and a lack of clear instructions created barriers for individuals with cognitive and physical disabilities.

In response to broader accessibility needs, the Polish government has begun implementing initiatives funded by the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). These efforts include the ‘Accessible Local Government 2.0’ program, aimed at making public offices and services more inclusive, and the establishment of Regional Communication Centers in provincial cities to facilitate better contact between citizens with disabilities and government institutions.
