HMPPS Families Group have published the document 'Delivering Effective Family Practice'.
The guide is designed to support prisons and their partners to provide the best outcomes for the families and significant others of prisoners.
As well as analysing the needs of prisoners families, it also provides a checklist/guide to good and effective practice.
'Supporting a prisoner to develop meaningful and constructive relationship with his or her family or significant others, should be a primary focus for anyone caring for those in custody who hope to achieve positive change and transform lives. Family and significant relationships are considered as a key means by which we can prevent reoffending and reduce the likelihood of intergenerational crime'
