The ICMPD/ERRIN implemented CADRE project organised its last training session on Return Counselling with a special focus on counselling vulnerable people, namely victims of trafficking. The face-to-face training took place on 3-5 May in Brussels, Belgium.
Summary
The target group of the project are institutions and persons in charge of return counselling in EU MSs participating in ERRIN (ERRIN member countries) including national authorities as well as NGOs and IOs. The final beneficiaries of the project are third-country nationals who receive return counselling in EU MSs.
During the first phase of the CADRE project (January-December 2021), a curriculum for return counsellors was elaborated comprising a profile for return counsellors, a training manual for trainees (counsellors), a training manual for trainers, and a concept for train-the-trainers sessions. Moreover, a group of trainers from participating ERRIN member countries was trained during two train-the-trainers sessions.
During the second phase of the CADRE project (January-June 2022), additional trainers are being trained and a training session for return counsellors is being organised. ERRIN member countries also have the possibility to receive support in conducting trainings for their counsellors in their own national context. The second phase of the CADRE project also focuses specifically on return counselling of victims of trafficking and cooperates closely with the ERRIN-funded PROSPECT project
