Core Competences for Volunteers in Probation

CoPPer stands for Cooperation to Promote a European Volunteering Training Programme in Probations Services. Despite the differences in various European Probation Services, this training was developed from a common ground competences identified for volunteers in probation work. 

​

For the training creation, a Competency Framework was tailored based on 3 clusters/questions: 

​

• Attitude and Qualities - how should the volunteer position himself? 

• Knowledge - what should the volunteer know? 

• Skills - how should the volunteer act? 

​

As result, this “Core Competences for Volunteers in Probation” training focuses on the basic principles of probation and equipping the volunteers with a set of knowledge and skills, combined with qualities, and attitudes which are the basis for the expected conduct that enables volunteers to carry out the voluntary work at a certain level within the domain of the probation organization.
