Scottish organisation Families Outside have produced this interactive e-booklet full of guidance for schools in supporting children impacted by imprisonment. Although written for a Scottish audience, most of the resource is useful to practitoners from England, Wales and Northern Ireland also. The document is split up in into 6 main chapters; raising awareness and understanding needs, reaching out to children and families, supporting children and young people, maintaining contact with a prisoner, resources for classroom teaching and a case study. There is also a checklist of things to consider when supporting offenders children as well as useful contacts, a further reading list and a leaflet to hand out to families. Throughout there are links to help readers use this resource in a practical way.
