Practical and interactive training in Banja Luka Today in Banja Luka, which aimed to increase the protection of children in the justice system of the Republic of Srpska, completed today. Training is the result of good cooperation between the CEP and the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Sprska.

The group of participants was very diverse, as representatives of the police, social work centres and prosecution, responded to an invitation. Between police investigators, who deal with children, there were representatives of all six regional centers - Prijedor, Doboj, Bijeljina, Istočno Sarajevo, Banja Luka and Trebinje), with the aim to reach the widest possible knowledge transfer on the staff of the participants.

The participants on the second day of the training, focused on the issues and established protocols regarding the interviews of children who have been victims of crime. Numerous studies and experience have shown that various issues of child may elicit different answers, so it is very important how to talk with children. Above all, it is important that we work with children in a way that it is understandable to them in order to establish a relationship, trust and respect.

All heard, participants tried also in the play, which has proven to be extremely interesting, useful and appropriate technique for learning. They have experienced on their own skin in a safe environment how children feel during the investigative interview and how interviewers work with them.

Training with the same group of participants will continue in June 2015.

USPEŠNO ZAKLJUČENO USPOSABLJANJE ZA ZAŠČITO OTROK V PRAVOSODNEM SISTEMU REPUBLIKE SRBSKE

Danes se je v Banja Luki zaključilo praktično in interaktivno usposabljanje, katerega namen je povečanje zaščite otrok v pravosodnem sistemu Republike Srbske. Usposabljanje je rezultat dobrega sodelovanja med CEP in Ministrstvom za notranje zadeve Republike Srbske.

Skupina udeležencev je bila zelo raznolika, saj so se na vabilo odzvali predstavniki policije, centrov za socialno delo in tožilstva. Med policisti kriminalisti, ki se pri svojem delu srečujejo z otroki, so bili predstavniki vseh šestih regionalnih centrov – Prijedor, Doboj, Bijelina, Istočno Sarajevo, Trebinje in Banja Luka), s čimer želimo doseči čim širši prenos znanja tudi na sodelavce udeležencev.

Udeleženci so se drugi dan usposabljanja osredotočili na vrste vprašanj in uveljavljene protokole razgovorov otrok, ki so bile žrtve kaznivih dejanj. Številne raziskave in izkušnje so pokazale, da različna vprašanja iz otrok izvabijo različne odgovore, zato je zelo pomembno na kakšen način se z otroki pogovarjamo. Predvsem pa je pomembno, da z otroki delamo na njim razumljiv način, da z njimi vzpostavimo odnos, zaupanje in jih spoštujemo.

Vse slišano, so udeleženci poskusili tudi v igri vlog, ki se je izkazala za izredno zanimivo, uporabno in primerno tehniko za učenje. Na lastni koži so v varnem okolju preverili kako se med preiskovalnim intervjujem počutijo otroci in kako lahko izpraševalci z njimi sodelujejo.

Usposabljanje se bo z isto skupino udeležencev nadaljevalo v juniju 2015.
