We present an example of current legal regulation of education and training programs for psychotherapists on the example of legislation in Switzerland. It dwells upon the criteria for training professional psychotherapists. The paper also discusses the procedure for admission into the workforce (accreditation) and describes the experience of the first stage of admission in Switzerland. The Swiss example shows that the provisions for applying the law to the admission procedure need to be clarified in order to be able to distinguish, as required by the law, scientifically based psychotherapeutic approaches and methods from those which are not, or not yet, scientifically or evidence-based. Furthermore, we touch upon the issue of distinguishing between psychological counseling and psychotherapy and describe a proposed solution to this problem, as practiced in the Netherlands. In addition, we present the recently (September 2020) enacted reform of the Psychotherapy Act of Germany. This reform concerns education and advanced qualification training as well as the accreditation of psychotherapists.

Summary One of the biggest challenges in the design of educational systems concerns how vocational education and training (VET) systems are best organized for the labour markets of tomorrow. Do we need more specialized craftsmen with practical and specific skills that tightly link to specific occupations, or do we need a shift towards broader craftsmen with more general skills? Using microdata from France, Germany, and The Netherlands, we show that there are different ways by which the VET sector establishes school-to-work linkages. Linkages between school to work are on average stronger in systems with a dual VET sector compared to a full school-based model. However, an important reason why linkages are stronger is because of compositional differences, as in dual VET systems more students tend to be enrolled in strongly linking educational programs. Moreover, VET systems are far from homogeneous, and there are large differences in how strong educational programmes link to occupations within and between countries. In general, employment is highest among the stronger linking programs, and this effect is strongest in dual VET systems. These results suggest that there is still room for occupationally oriented schooling.

Resumen:El circo es la única expresión artística en nuestro país sin regulación oficial de estudios, a pesar de existir desde hace años legislación europea y nacional que insta a su desarrollo. El objetivo de la investigación fue realizar un diagnóstico de la situación de la formación de circo en España, partiendo de una revisión histórica, hasta llegar al análisis de la realidad de las escuelas profesionales existentes en nuestro país, sus planes de estudios y las materias e itinerarios a seguir en una futura formación oficial en circo. Junto a la revisión de la literatura, se elaboró un cuestionario validado por jueces del cual calculamos su fiabilidad. Una vez aplicado a los estudiantes de las tres escuelas, concluimos que existía una base pedagógica sólida sobre la que fundamentar una titulación oficial de estudio de circo, con una tendencia clara hacia un itinerario de formación universitaria de Grado 3+2 o de Enseñanzas Propias, con el que se daría respuesta a una demanda que el sector lleva reivindicando más de tres décadas y que cuenta con un amparo legislativo que no acaba de concretarse en hechos tangibles. Abstract:The circus is the only artistic expression in Spain without government regulation of studies, although for years there has been European and national legislation which encourages their development. The aim of this research was to diagnose the situation of training for the circus in this country, starting from a historical review, and proceeding to an analysis of the present situation in vocational schools here in Spain, examining their curricula and proposing material and training programs which might be used in future formal official courses for the circus. Together with the review of literature, a questionnaire was created and validated by judges so that its reliability could be calculated. Once applied to students of the three schools, we concluded that there was a solid educational foundation on which to base an official certificate of study for the circus, with a clear trend towards a course of university education Grade 3 + 2 or self teaching, which would provide an answer to one of the demands of the sector which has been reclaimed for the last three decades and for which legislative protection exists but which has not lead to the creation of in anything tangible

This paper explores the recent history of CCTV system regulation in England and Wales questioning whether recent additions to the law can be regarded as providing for effective regulation, in particular, of camera numbers. It goes on to explore the legal landscape relating to public and private use of CCTV to subject publicly accessible space to surveillance in Germany as well as giving an overview of the regulatory systems in France, the Netherlands and Sweden. Drawing from this analysis, minimum standards for effective regulation are explored in terms of fulfilling both the letter and the spirit of laws across Europe.

In this article the author examines existing and seldom researched issues regarding the legal framework for regulating unmanned aircraft flights, focussing particularly on drone flights. The purpose of the article is to analyse the existing and draft legal framework for regulating unmanned aircraft flights, identifying issues pertaining to drone flight legal regulation and recommending solutions. The author analyses the notion of unmanned aircraft flights, the existing legal framework, draft legal framework and raises concerns regarding the future of drone flights. Currently, there is no definition for unmanned aircraft and drones. The definition is included in the draft provisions; however, the author concludes that this definition can cause problems when trying to extend the rules for drones. For this reason, the author offers to clarify the definition for unmanned aircraft flights which is included in the draft framework. It is necessary to clarify the law "On Aviation" rules, including human rights as threatened interests of unmanned aircraft flights. The author proposes introducing all unmanned aircraft registration and training of unmanned aircraft before obtaining a license. The author also proposes introducing a new profession in the future – drone pilot – for which it would be mandatory to earn a drone pilot license.

Research shows that if clinicians are to deliver effective, evidence-based assistive technology for cognition (ATC) services to clients with acquired brain injury (ABI), they first need opportunities to gain knowledge and experience with ATC assessment and training practices (O'Neil-Pirozzi, Kendrick, Goldstein, & Glenn, 2004). This article describes three examples of train the trainer materials and programs to address this need: (a) a toolkit for trainers to learn more about assessing and training ATC; (b) a comprehensive, trans-disciplinary program for training staff to provide ATC services in a metropolitan area; and (c) an overview of an on-site/online training package for rehabilitation professionals working with individuals with ABI in remote locations.
