The "Immigrants, police and social work" (IPS) project aims at promoting the integration of third-country nationals in the EU countries. This will be done by identifying best practices in the cooperation of police and social work and by introducing them to new multi-professional working methods. The target of the IPS project is to improve the engagement of immigrants, police and social workers to meet and exchange perspectives, identify challenges and develop solutions in the local communities for promoting integration.
The project combines the knowledge of several academic partners from five partner countries: Finland, Sweden, Spain, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom are represented.
IPS project is co-financed by the European Union under European Integration Fund Community Actions for 2008. The implementation period of the project is 1 December 2009 – 31 May 2011.
