On 27th November the Prison Advice and Care Trust (Pact) hosted a ‘Supporting Young Parents in Prison’ event in Cardiff.
The purpose of the day was to formally announce the findings of an evaluation of the Supporting Young Fathers in Prison (SYFP) project which Pact have been running across prisons in Wales since 2013.
The project advocates on behalf of young fathers in prison and their families. It brokers relevant services, provides therapeutic support, facilitates parenting efficacy, supports efforts to build relationships, and strengthens family ties.
The evaluation was written by Dr Pamela Ugwudike of the University of Southampton who gave a presentation of her findings during the event.
Other speakers on the day were:
· Phil Taylor OBE, Pact Chair of Trustees
· Richard Booty, Families Lead HMPPS
· Angus Mulready-Jones, HMIP
· Joanne Mulcahy, Head of Services (Wales & SW) Pact
Attached below are the full report and presentations from the day.
