Results for children of prisoners (u.k.)
1 results foundAuthor: Robinson, Emma Title: A Fresh Perspective: Working with Offenders and Families - why it matters Summary: It is estimated that there are around 160,000 children with a parent in prison each year. 60% of these children affected by parental imprisonment are likely to offend themselves. Studies of prisoners’ children also suggest that there can be a number of adverse outcomes for children caused by parental imprisonment. However, support for children and families is lacking. Where support is available, this is often fragmented due to the conflicting aims of the services involved. Recent policy developments suggest a move towards providing better support and provision for families, with authorities being encouraged to ‘think family’. Publications such as the ‘Every Child Matters’, The ‘Children of Offenders Review’ and ‘Families do Matter’ stress the role of the family in supporting desistance from re-offending. This research was commisioned to identify exactly what work is being undertaken with families within the West Yorkshire districts and determine the effectiveness of this work.
