Recap: Expert Group on Caseload and Workload
The second face to face meeting of the Expert Group on Caseload and Workload took place on 19 February 2025 in Zagreb, Croatia. Building on the work completed in 2024, the group began developing guidelines to provide, among others, its professional advice on caseload and workload, their definitions as well as an overview of caseload and workload across Europe to the CEP member jurisdictions. The issue of caseload and workload is of significant concern for probation organizations throughout Europe, which are seeking effective solutions to manage the rising number of cases and the increasing workload associated with probation work.
The meeting took place at the premises of the Ministry of Justice, Public Administration and Digital Transformation in Croatia and was opened by State Secretary Vedrana Simundza Nikolic, acting Director General Zvonimir Penic, Mr. Goran Brkic, Head of Probation, together with Ms. Jana Spero Kamenjarin, CEP Secretary General.
The next face to face meeting will take place in February 2026. The workshop to present the guidelines is to be organized in 2026.
