Activity 1.1. - Development of an Effective Risk Evaluation System for Children in Turkish Probation
Services
I. BACKGROUND and JUSTIFICATION
UNICEF and Ministry of Justice (MoJ) have a long-standing cooperation in the field of Justice
for children. In the context of children’s rights, UNICEF gives utmost importance to use of
detention as a last resort and for the shortest period of time possible; therefore, supports
programmes across the world to enhance alternatives of imprisonment. The “Development of
an Effective Risk Evaluation System for Children in Turkish Probation Services” Project (also
known as the DENGE Juvenile Probation Programme – hereinafter DENGE) has been
developed with this understanding; to improve the probation services for children in Turkey.
The Project is co-funded by the European Union, the Government of Turkey and UNICEF, and
is being implemented by the Ministry of Justice Directorate General for Prisons and Detention
Houses Probation Department with UNICEF technical support. The overall objective is to
increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the juvenile justice system in Turkey through the
development of a more effective, preventive and rehabilitative probation system. The Project
is ultimately expected to ensure their successful reintegration in society as well as supervision
and follow-up in the community. In this regard, various national and international consultancy
teams are currently working on the development of the risks and needs assessment tool,
which, as an integral component, includes various supportive intervention programmes tailored
for those identified risks and needs.
During the initial development phase of the assessment tool and programmes, the current
programmes which are being implemented for those children under probation were also
reviewed and the initial findings clearly indicated the need for additional programmes and
innovative tools as well as more guidance for the probation officers who are working with those
children in the field.
The “Change Step by Step” programme, which is one of those current intervention
programmes for children under probation aims at ensuring a gradual behavioral change in the
attitudes of the client. The ultimate goal of the programme is to empower children for a positive
change by realizing their dysfunctional attitudes and while improving their life-skills also to
enable them to cope with the negative factors which lead them to get in conflict with the law. It
is composed of ten modules1 each one focusing a different aspect of the attitude change. The
1
Getting Started, Emotions, Thoughts and Beliefs, ABC, Alternative Thinking and Result Oriented Approach, Cycle of
REF: PRO/TURA/2018-Eprogramme, which is developed in 2015, was initially piloted in 12 provinces and decided to
be expanded nation-wide starting from 2017.
The above-mentioned review, held in late 20172 on the current intervention programmes for
children under probation underlines the promising nature of the “Change Step by Step” and
acknowledges the positive feedback given both by the implementing professionals and the
children who participated.
Considering the new risk and needs assessment framework to be introduced with the DENGE
Project, it is then decided to review and adjust the “Change Step by Step” programme to the
new framework, and to develop a concrete design for monitoring and impact analysis of the
programme to be conducted in the future.
Thus, UNICEF Turkey is seeking a short term national individual consultant to review
the “Change Step by Step Programme”, adjust it to the new assessment framework of
the DENGE Juvenile Probation Programme and to design a framework for MoJ on
monitoring and assessing the impact of its implementation.
