Summary/Abstract: The Polish state guarantees comprehensive psychological care for children and adolescents in educational institutions. The tasks of the psychologist are included in a special regulation and also involve cooperation with the child’s teachers, educators and parents. In practice, the psychologist deals with the student delegated by tutors and teachers, and his activities mainly consist of intervening in the event of learning or behavioural problems. Unlike in other countries, it can be seen that a psychology graduate in Poland starts his professional carrier with relatively little experience (a small number of hours of training). We also do not have a strictly defined path of professional development for a school psychologist, independent of teacher promotion.
