Looking forward to the World Congress on Probation 2017: Connecting Probation at a Regional and Global Level
|
|
The World Congress on Probation held in London in October 2013 was a landmark – the first global event focussed purely on probation. Delegates from more than 50 countries addressed with evident enthusiasm two underpinning aims set out by Marc Ceron, former CEP President – to make visible the diversity among different systems, cultures and backgrounds across the world, and to contribute to continuity and a sustainable global forum for the exchange of probation knowledge and expertise.
The second World Congress in Los Angeles in 2015 built fruitfully on the first. Themes included advancing evidence-based practices, administrative and policy innovations, and approaches to juvenile and family work incorporating holistic and strength-based approaches.
It goes without saying that the CEP looks forward keenly to learning from and with new networks, and eagerly anticipates the Third World Congress in Japan!
