1 ACCESS Placements!!! Apply now and spent 2 weeks in the UK in 2012 alongside service providers in the drugs and criminal justice area!!!! Placements outline: The ACCESS project opens opportunities for a number of individuals working with clients in the fields of drugs, health and criminal justice in a European Union country, to undertake a two-week work placement within a drugs service provider in the UK in spring Work placements will be designed to support practical transfer/exchange of knowledge, with host organisations in the UK providing the opportunity for individual professionals from other countries to operate as participant observers within services for drug users. This will include undertaking shadow activities with experienced operational staff, taking part in clinical and management meetings and having the benefit of debrief meetings to discuss their experience with a mentor from the host organisation appointed to work with them for the duration of the placement. The placements are suitable for practitioners in the drugs and criminal justice field working in direct contact with clients (social workers, psychologists, drug workers, educators, NGOs staff ad similar) and will offer an opportunity to participants for practical exchanges of good practices and support a learning from doing approach. Host organisations in the UK represent agencies providing drug and alcohol criminal justice related services within the Greater London area and in the Yorkshire. They have been chosen for the capacity to provide a model of existing services in the UK and for the ability to dedicate some of their time and expertise to supervise/mentor participants who will be placed with them. For more details on each of the organisations, including the work experience opportunities that each can offer, see below under Hosts organisations Programme: The placements are scheduled to take place in April/May Participants will receive an induction session at the beginning of the two weeks and will be introduced to services and work alongside a tutor from the host organisation in the placements locations mentioned below under Hosts organisations. The placements will last 2 weeks, with all participants convening at the end for a group de-brief, where each person will be asked to give a short description of their experience and the learning they have achieved.
