Children with parents who offend are known to be at higher risk of poorer outcomes in terms of their education, mental health, housing and poverty, and are at higher risk of becoming offenders themselves. Voluntary sector organisations have for many years championed the cause of prisoners’ children and families, creating exciting partnership work with prison service colleagues and pioneering a range of innovative services and solutions.
This event is for practitioners, commissioners, Tier 1 providers, policy makers, funders and academics, to come together and focus on work in prisons that supports children affected by familial imprisonment and look at how time in custody can be spent purposefully to support and strengthen healthy family relationships and develop parenting skills. There will also be examples of joined-up prison and community-based services and what can be learnt from them.
