Probation and Correctional officers commence second training workshop

The second training workshop for Probation officers and the Nauru Correctional Service commenced this afternoon (4 Nov). It is designed to equip the officers in working with offenders as well as offer guidance, supervision and life skills.

 

The workshop stems from and supports the Court's recommendation made in 2011 for a funded Probation Program. The proposal enabled the Chief Correctional Officer to utilise the services of part time probation officers to assist in implementing the sentencing orders of the Court.

 

Acting President and Minister for Home Affairs Hon Charmaine Scotty officially opened the workshop with an overview of the Probation Program and attributed the reduced number of reoffenders to the good work of the probation officers.

 

"Since last year more than 80 orders have been made by the District Court and less than five have re-offended. This is a wonderful statistic which reflects enormously on the efforts of the Probation Officers," Minister Scotty said.

 

There are currently 30 offenders under sentencing orders, serving periods of time under good behaviour bonds, probation, community service or parole.

 

There are nine part time probation officers working as mentors for the young offenders.

 

The nine day workshop is being funded by the government of New Zealand and will cover leadership skills, motivational interviewing and relapse prevention. The training will also review the probation manual and case studies.

 

A major feature of the training will be video footage of professionals conducting counselling.

 

The training is being conducted by Warwick Duell who had been to Nauru in August 2012 when he conducted his first workshop for the correctional service.

 

The training will also look at the role, behaviour and conduct of correctional and probation officers and how their conduct can affect their work and the offenders they aim to help.
