NEPACS have joined with Helix Arts to produce a pack of arts activities designed to help children with a parent in prison share their 'deep emotional experience'.
Called 'Hidden Voices' the pack has been produced by artists, children of prisoners and the prisoners themselves.
'The Hidden Voices ‘kit bag’ of activities has been designed with the involvement of local children and prisoners from HMP Kirklevington Grange to help dads in prison to reflect on the impact of their offending on their children at home. It’s anticipated that this programme will encourage men to turn their back on crime and reduce reoffending.'
NEPACS have a limited number of kitbags available to organisations that work with offenders. A request form and downloadable material is available on their website.
