“The ministry has a new name,” Minister Elżbieta Rafalska said at the awards ceremony. “It is not just a change of the name but also of the policy. We want to show that family is the most important to the state and the new government. Families can count on support, as evidenced by the Act on state aid in raising children, which includes the 500+ programme. I believe that this Act will not only change the situation of Polish families but will also have a positive impact on the functioning of social assistance.”
