The Special Educational and Care Centre No. 1 for Children with Physical Disabilities in Police, Poland, provides education, care and rehabilitation for children and young people with physical disabilities. Its schools include a primary school with preschool classes, a general secondary school, first- and second-stage vocational schools, a school preparing students for employment, and a post-secondary school.

Accessibility and rehabilitation are central to its facilities.
