The article discusses the changes in institutional care, especially in one of its forms - orphanages after the acceptance of the law in 2002. It describes the issues of children and young adults, leaving these facilities and the risks they face in their independent lives.
To address practical aspects of life connected with housing, finding employment or the creation of leisure activities, there are several civic associations, endowment funds and projects involved; that aim to simplify start in life for children from facilities for institutional care. It can be assumed that a significant contribution to improving the current situation would be to establish the position of Children's Ombudsman.
