Who supports successful reintegration? RESIZE has the answer.
Every day, thousands of professionals across Europe work to support the rehabilitation and reintegration of people who have been sentenced. Yet these professionals often come from very different sectors, roles, and educational backgrounds, with no common framework to recognise and develop the competencies needed for this important work.
The RESIZE Framework was created to change that.
Developed within the RESIZE project, the framework helps identify and map the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed by professionals working across the correctional and rehabilitation ecosystem. It provides a shared foundation for learning, professional development, recognition of prior experience, and future career pathways.
Who is it for?
👮 Prison and correctional staff
⚖️ Probation and justice professionals
🧠 Psychologists and rehabilitation specialists
📚 Educators and VET trainers
🤝 Social workers and community practitioners
🏢 NGOs supporting reintegration and social inclusion
🌱 Volunteers and peer mentors
🎓 Future professionals entering the sector
How does it help?
✅ Defines the competencies needed to support successful rehabilitation and reintegration
✅ Supports professional recognition and lifelong learning
✅ Creates clearer pathways for upskilling and career development
✅ Bridges gaps between correctional, educational, social, and community services
✅ Contributes to more human-centred, rehabilitative, and community-integrated justice systems
The RESIZE Framework recognises that successful reintegration is not the responsibility of one profession alone—it requires collaboration across an entire ecosystem of practitioners working towards a common goal.
