Centre 4 - Concerted Action 'Centre 4' Juvenile Probation Officers

Centre 4 aims at the development and pilot implementation of a quality-based, training strategy in the field of juvenile probation. The main goals of the proposal are the improvement of knowledge, professional skills and competencies of institutional authorities' specialised scientific personnel and the introduction of innovative methods and best practice on issues related to juvenile probation and surveillance. This will be achieved by analysing existing structures and practices in juvenile probation and by developing a pilot thematic action, to improve guidance, counselling and training provision. Activities will comprise the elaboration and development of innovative training programmes for juvenile probation officers and graduates entering the labour market and the development of a pilot package for the surveillance and re-integration of juvenile offenders. The project attempts to intensify co-operation and synergy between national authorities, professional associations and other related judicial, welfare, educational and research organisations, which concentrate on and respond to juvenile delinquency through the provision of probation & surveillance services and the protection and re-integration of juvenile offenders. To this end, Centre 4 will establish an informal, transnational forum on judicial and home affairs to facilitate the exchange of good practices in managing surveillance activities relating to juvenile offenders. The creation of an European, open, virtual, scientific forum on the study of legal issues and the provision of new training tools will allow for inter-disciplinary, continuous, vocational education throughout the participating countries.
