The EUCPN–ENAA Secretariat is organising weekly Guidance Labs aimed to bring together practitioners to discuss topics and challenges on the administrative approach. Each Guidance lab will focus on a specific topic (e.g. how to get started with the administrative approach or using joint inspections to tackle organised crime) during which practitioners can provide feedback, exchange experiences or refine practical guidelines. The gathered input will be used by the Secretariat to further develop our toolkit on the administrative approach. The goal is to improve the content of these toolkits to ensure they are relevant and practical for the prevention workforce.
Each lab will last maximum 1.5 hour and include no more than 12 people. To ensure targeted and relevant discussions, we aim for practitioners and decision makers with practical experience on either a national, regional or local level.
Registration is possible through an online form: https://forms.office.com/e/Svfcb5Hy6g. Participants will be chosen based on their profile, experience and country/area in which they work to ensure a diversity of experiences in the discussions. The selected participants will receive an e-mail several weeks in advance with the link for the meeting and necessary background information on the meeting topic. The deadline for registration for each Guidance Lab is two weeks in advance.
Guidance lab administrative approach: How to get started with the administrative approach
Lab 1: Identifying tools and building awareness (22 January; 10:00 - 11:30 CET; online)
This first guidance lab on the administrative approach will focus on the initial steps we recommend to take when starting to implement the administrative approach. In this session, the participants will share experiences and challenges in identifying administrative tools, evaluating which ones are feasible in their context and raising awareness among local authorities and practitioners. The discussion will also explore the different types of instruments and information that have proven effective to get started, and how to avoid duplication or gaps in the local framework.
