Joint Working Protocol: Safeguarding children and young people whose parents / carers have problems with: mental health, substance misuse, learning disability and emotional or psychological distress

This protocol document, aimed at multiagency professionals, is a collaboration between a number of Local Safeguarding Children Boards.

It notes at a few points throughout the 53 pages the impact that having a parent involved in the different parts of the Criminal Justice System can have on children's wellbeing. Section 2.4.3 is a short dedicated section to 'Parents who Offend'. This notes Winchester Prison and Kingston's partnerships with agencies such as the Job Centre Plus, Children's Centres and Probation services in the development of projects which help to strengthen family ties and improve the outcomes of children and their parents.
