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: Joint inspections
Lab 4: Implementation of joint inspections to tackle organised crime (25 February; 10:00 - 11:30 CET; online)
Joint inspections mean that different administrative authorities (e.g. labour authority and health inspection) conduct joint actions, while maintaining their own authority. The toolkit includes 2 examples of joint inspections: the flex inspections in Belgium and the ‘quick blows’ (Korte klap) approach in the Netherlands. This lab examines if sufficient information is given to replicate these measures. Additionally, participants can bring examples of other types of joint inspections that exist in Europe.
In terms of participants, we welcome those that have experience in using the administrative approach as well as those without experience that would be interested in replicating such activities.
