An NCJAA and Clinks Family Network event
Book your tickets now!
For 2025 Clinks Family Network and the National Criminal Justice Arts Alliance (NCJAA) Anne Peaker Lecture are joining forces to bring you an in-person event: Art of the Matter - If family relationships are the golden thread to supporting children affected by parental imprisonment, what role can the arts play in this?
About the event
Clinks launched its Family Network in 2023 and has worked to bring the voluntary sector together to influence policy and practice. The network has highlighted the need for more funding for family work; consistent approaches to visits and the impact stigma has.
This event will spotlight how organisations offer a creative approach to supporting children and families affected by the criminal justice system. We are delighted that Lord Michael Farmer will deliver our keynote address and we have a fantastic range of panellists that will consider how to inspire action for change.
This event will celebrate the work of the voluntary sector working to support children and families of those in the criminal justice system by creating opportunities to share learning and good practice, network and consider future opportunities. There will be six workshops delivered by Irene Taylor Trust, Safeground, PACT, NEPACS, Invisible Walls and Cube.
This event has been coproduced with All Things Considered Theatre who will be showcasing their fantastic performance, '8 Hours There and Back', following the stories of Ruby, Jake and Grace as they navigate a world that they should not be in and a system that has forgotten about them. Told through a fusion of dance, projections and words, '8 Hours There and Back' examines how a system set up by adults is failing the children. This piece is inspired by the stories from children. Every story belongs to someone.
