This document contains a poster and two page briefing about children of offenders and how NICCO can assist Local Authorities to consider and respond to the needs of children of offenders.
As some of this group of children and families will be amongst the most vulnerable, and often remain 'invisible' to agencies, it is essential for Local Authorities to develop protocols and guidelines to ensure a co-ordinated, multi-agency response. The poster and briefing include direct quotes from children and families and examples of practice.
