This paper is a post-conference publication based on a presentation of the same title delivered at the Polish-Slovak interdisciplinary academic conference: “35 Years of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in Poland and Slovakia: Reflections and Perspectives.” Pursuant to Article 113 § 1 of the Family and Guardianship Code, parents and their child have the right and the obligation to maintain contact with each other, independently of parental authority. This provision is one manifestation of the child’s right to be raised by both parents. In cases involving domestic violence, this right conflicts with the child’s right to safety and protection from violence. The obligation to protect the child from violence stems from the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, as well as from EU law and multilateral international agreements binding upon the Republic of Poland. To address potential conflicts between these values, the legislature has provided for legal measures in the form of restricting or prohibiting contact. However, child protection efforts can prove ineffective due to a lack of interdisciplinary knowledge regarding the mechanisms, manifestations, and consequences of violence.
