This short, accessible, children's rights focused article outlines the University of Huddersfield's 2013 COPING study into the mental health and resilience of children of prisoners across Europe.
There is an initial introduction to some of the challenges children with parents in prison face and consideration of how this differs across Europe. The author, who took part in the study, includes insights from the children that he conducted interviews with and includes images of pictures some drew in relation to their parents imprisonment. General recommendations for policy and practice in the criminal justice system, schools and elsewhere are briefly bullet pointed at the end.
