Marginalised people in public space are the target of many professions, including the police, social work, public transport authorities and others. Traditionally, public space is managed by the public authorities, carried out by the police as the dominant body of public order management. However, in the course of administrative reforms, more and more stakeholders with different intentions and ideologies participate in the governance of public order. With an emphasis on the promotion of health and care social workers represent the counterpart to the police as the agent of law enforcement.
Our aim in this project is to contribute to the development of high-quality skills and competences for a better cooperation of the two professions of social work and police.
The core output of this project is a Training Package in Social Work and Policing, including a training schedule for a 2+3 days training course and respective teaching material such as didactical manuals and documentary material of best practice examples in the partner countries. In addition to conventional teaching aids (textbook) the teaching and training package will consider the development of instruments for multi-media teaching (training videos, footage of case studies) and practical exercises (role-play, excursions, field trips). Altogether, the training shall be interesting and joyful.
The Handbook for trainers will contain several sections:
Several annexes with review questions for students, monitoring guidelines and references will be added. The product will have approximately 100-150 pages.
Sufficient time will be dedicated to networking and dissemination activities:
