This booklet outlines how South Gloucestershire council will support children who are looked after by relatives or family friends in the absence of their parents. It also summarises the law in this area. Despite there only being two brief mentions of children with parents in prison within the statutory guidance for local authorities, this document is worth noting as an example of a local authority who specifically recognise children with imprisoned parents. There is also a list of support agencies for those affected by imprisonment at the end of the booklet.
