DIGITWG

Events

If you work within the criminal justice system, then you are already part of the digital revolution which will fundamentally change the way that technology can support the rehabilitative aims of corrections. And you also know that Digital Change Management (DCM) is not easy. Navigating the course of adaptation in such a new field is full of ‘firsts’, and there are many challenges preventing colleagues, management and procurement contractors from welcoming, accepting, and executing change in a secure setting.

This Digital Transitions Working Groups are online and in-person information and exchange platforms for you to gain access to potential solutions to barriers to DCM in prison and probation, and to provide a platform to learn from peers doing the same as you, all over Europe. DIGICOR Working Group partners Interchange, IPS and the Belgian Ministry of Justice would be pleased to invite you to continue conversations around digital readiness in prison and probation, begun during the DIGICOR Digitalisation in Corrections project.

The aim of these hubs is to find out why moving to digital can be challenging, and what prison and probation services can do about it, and to advocate decision makers for relevant support. As an experienced professional in your field, we invite you to contribute to a relevant group, and share why specific traits/ conditions/ environments in these areas of criminal justice which will make it harder to implement digital change:
