Project Result: Peer Mentoring Programme for Prison Staff
The Peer Mentoring Programme for Prison Staff, aims to build and pilot a comprehensive peer mentoring programme for prison officers who have been recently recruited.
Objectives:
- to transform the previously defined promising practices, mentor profile regarding peer mentoring and support schemes into a workable and effective mentoring programme,
- to foster the use of new and improved learning tools adequate to the digital and green transition
- to produce a mentoring programme adequately evaluated and fine-tuned,
- to contribute to the peer mentoring for prison staff literature with empirical evidence, and
- to improve prison staff mental and physical health while diminishing job burnout and turnover.
Activities:
- Development of the modules, the detailed activities and learning outcomes, time allocation, and facilitator´s guidelines for a training programme targeted at potential mentors
- Development of a blended training programme. The training programme will be available in 5 languages (English, Greek, Danish, Romanian, and Portuguese).
- Recruitment and training of 15 prison officers per country (apart from Belgium) for the mentor training programme. The programme will last for three months.
- Mentoring activities: the trained mentors will be paired with mentees and implement a mentoring process for four months.
