CEP General Assembly followed by a Conference on Human Rights and Ethics in Probation

CEP in cooperation with the Croatian Ministry of Justice kindly invites all probation professionals and practitioners to participate in the autumn conference in Dubrovnik that will cover the topics that have recently been on the agenda of probation organizations across Europe. Probation organisations have been in a different phase of development and the specifics that probation officers must deal with vary from country to country. The core business – providing guidance, assistance, support and motivation to the client, protecting society and victims from any harm – remains the same. Variety of other specifics the probation officers deal with the clients on a daily basis differs. Europe is large and issues addressed in South Europe do not necessarily have to be the same as the ones in North, Central and Eastern Europe at certain moment.

Key questions we would like to raise at the conference are:

1. Human rights, ethics and its reflection in probation work
2. Gender stereotypes in probation: fair chances and equal opportunities
3. Psychological support in probation
4. Diversity management: developing multicultural competencies in probation
