Children of Prisoners: Fixing a broken system

Sarah Kincaid, Manon Roberts and Professor Eddie Kane - Crest and the Centre for Health and Justice at the Institute of Mental Health University of Nottingham

According to this report, children of prisoners in the UK are an "'invisible’ group – currently, children are not systematically identified or assessed when a parent goes to prison." The report aims to improve understanding of:

  • Who this ‘invisible’ group of children is
  • The extent, nature and root causes of their poorer outcomes
  • How a whole family approach can be used to improve outcomes for children and parents and what needs to change
