Summary/Abstract: There are various bodies making up the system for protecting the rights of an individual in a democratic state. An example is the ombudsman. In Central and Eastern Europe ombudsmen were appointed during the late socialist era or during the period of democratic transformations. An example is Poland, where the first ombudswoman was appointed in 1987. Since 2006 Poland has had another institution with a similar, though more targeted profile – the Ombudsman for Children. The aim of this short study is to carry out a brief analysis of these two institutions.
