STEPS 2 are holding the final conference in Bucharest, Romania on Thursday 4th and Friday 5th February 2016.
The STEPS 2 project (Support for Transfer of European Prison Sentences towards Resettlement) was initiated in March 2014 with the aim of supporting effective delivery of Framework Decision 2008/909/JHA relating to the transfer of foreign national prisoners. Through the various workstreams the project has sought to investigate and analyse practical and legal obstacles that may hinder the implementation and execution in Member States.
At the conference, findings and products that have been developed through the project will be presented. These include a literature assessment on the obstacles of implementing the Framework Decision as well as guidance for possible solutions to these obstacles; e-learning training for practitioners; an Offender Handbook detailing the transfer process for prisoners; guidance for victims; a report on social rehabilitation and guidance on resettlement practices; and research on information management systems.
There are still a few, limited places available. If you are interested in attending, please send an email entitled: ‘STEPS2 Conference Registration of Interest’ to [email protected] stating your full name, title, job title, organisation and country.
