This document contains a poster and two page briefing about children of offenders and how NICCO can assist early years professionals and settings to support children of offenders.
Given the likely high numbers of under-fives affected by parental imprisonment, along with both the importance of early years attachment development and early intervention, it is essential that early years professionals - such as playworkers, nursery and children's centre staff, midwives, health visitors and so on - are able to recognise and respond to the needs of this group. The poster and briefing include direct quotes from children and families and examples of practice.
Please download the poster and briefing below.
