Crest Advisory have published a major new report 'Children of Prisoners: Fixing a broken system'
The report seeks to demonstrate 'that children of prisoners are at risk of significantly worse outcomes than children not affected by parental imprisonment including an increased risk of mental health issues, and of being involved in the criminal justice system themselves in later life.'
Also included in the report are the results of new research into the number of children in England and Wales affected by parental imprisonment each year - 312,000 as opposed to the current, widely used figure of 200,000.
The report and excecutive summary can be downloaded below.
