ABOUT
CoPPer aims to increase community participation as a vital element that can enhance the work of probation staff in supporting these often low-qualified adults to pursue education, training and employment opportunities once outside prison or while serving community sanctions.​
Bring together European organisations from probation system, civil society, academia, and volunteering fields to create a transnational network focused on sharing knowledge and grassroot experience to co-explore ways of both increasing engagement and valuing the role volunteers and community play in the offender’s rehabilitation journey with the final goal of a crime-free life for the offenders.
WHAT WE EXPECT TO DO
1 / Identify ‘good practices’ in engaging volunteers and CBOs in probation services​
2 / Create a European training offer for volunteers in probation services informed by “what works”​
3 / Enhance the capacity of the CBOs to provide/ maintain a service of quality​
4/ Maximize the performance of the probation agencies​
5/ Develop a PAN EU collaboration network for inter-agency in the probation system​
Who do we want to involve?
Besides these ones we want to involve decision makers, academia/researchers, families of people in contact with the law and others
