SUMMARY:The ENCLAVE project: Final Conference & Transnational seminar
DESCRIPTION:The Final Conference and Transnational Seminar conclude the two years mandate of this European scale action research project. This event will bring together professionals from the justice\, care and health sectors\, policymakers\, researchers and volunteers\, to disseminate the ENCLAVE project outputs and to foster dialogue towards the need for a common framework of implementation of the forensic interview procedures with children victims and witnesses of sexual violence. \nThe Final Conference initiates with a welcoming speech by the hosting institution (KUL) and follows with the contributions from European Commissioner Katarzyna Janicka-Pawlowska on The Victims’ Rights Directive and children’s rights\, and from Levent Altan\, Executive Director at Victim Support Europe\, on Designing an interconnected system of Support and Justice. The ENCLAVE project is then introduced and the main findings and outputs presented. \nIn the afternoon\, the Transnational Seminar hosts three thematic sessions focused on the specialized response to child sexual victimization\, delivered by guest speakers experts in the fields of justice and of child victim support. To conclude the day\, a round table will foster discussion amongst guest speakers\, project partners\, and assistants\, on the challenges of daily practice in criminal justice procedures with child victims and witnesses of sexual violence\, and challenges regarding the interprofessional collaboration of relevant stakeholders of the child victims’ journey.

SUMMARY:EFRJ's Winter Academy 2023
DESCRIPTION:European Forum for Restorative Justice is launching its first in person Winter Academy on restorative justice\, which will take place between 30 January – 3 February 2023. One of the courses – “Victims’ Needs and Restorative Justice: Good Practices and Safeguards” – is addressing\, among others\, victim support professionals. \n\nThe EFRJ Winter Academy creates a new international learning opportunity for those interested in restorative justice and its high-quality applications in different contexts. It includes three parallel practice-oriented courses led by experienced trainers. These courses invite participants to develop and strengthen their skills\, get a hands-on experience of good practices\, to get challenged by complex questions\, and inspired by innovative and nuanced methods. \nThe course “Victims’ Needs and Restorative Justice: Good Practices and Safeguards” will develop the skills of professionals working in direct contact with victims of crime or supporting the practical implementation of victims’ rights. Participants will better understand how restorative justice responds to the (justice\, safety\, and other) needs of victims and will help to make a better offer/assessment/referral of victims for restorative justice services. \nThe course focuses on the challenges and opportunities of restorative justice from the victims’ perspective\, looking at the different steps that may ensure access to high-quality restorative justice for victims. The course will focus on the needs of victims\, the awareness of criminal justice professionals and the general public on restorative justice\, the resistance and fears towards its use (especially in specific type of crimes and/or vulnerable groups)\, the inter-agency cooperation needed to support referrals and access to the services\, the methodologies in place to offer restorative justice to victims (and responsible for the harm)\, the actual facilitation of the dialogical process\, the follow-up of the (potential) agreement\, and the evaluation of the overall service. \n  \nAim of the course “Victims’ Needs and Restorative Justice: Good Practices and Safeguards”\nTo understand better the victims’ needs and experience in the restorative justice process and to clarify the actual implementation of restorative justice programmes (from the referral procedure to the offer to the actual delivery of the service) in order to support access to restorative justice services for all victims of crime. After the course\, participants should be able to inform the victims better and to adapt their practices/service to more efficiently meet victims’ needs. \n  \nLearning outcomes\n\nTo understand values\, principles and practices of restorative justice;\nTo identify victims’ needs and to understand how restorative justice takes into consideration these needs;\nTo clarify the role of different professionals in ensuring access to restorative justice for victims (and responsible of the harm);\nTo understand the challenges and opportunities of referring victims to restorative justice services.\n\n  \nWho should participate?\nThis course is meant for all professionals working with and for victims of crime (practitioners\, policymakers\, researchers). In particular: \n\nVictim support workers\, working in direct contact with victims and willing to understand more about restorative justice;\nVictims’ rights advocates\, researching and/or drafting policies to support victims of crime (including victims’ associations);\nRestorative justice practitioners\, working in direct contact with victims and willing to understand more about their needs;\nCriminal justice professionals\, possibly having direct contacts with victims (law enforcement\, judiciary\, etc.)\, willing to understand why/when/how to refer cases to victim support and restorative justice services;\nOther professionals having direct contacts with victims (emergency\, mental health care\, crisis centres\, etc.)\, also when crimes are not reported\, with a potential role to inform them about the existence of restorative justice services.\n\n  \nTrainers\nOne of the two trainers is Peter Crory\, Head of Service for VSE member organisation Victim Support Northern Ireland. He leads on restorative justice for the organisation and is an experienced facilitator\, working primarily on victim-initiated cases\, to ensure a safe process that helps them on their recovery journey. He works closely with partners in prisons and probation to facilitate best practice.
