This leaflet, for professionals working in schools, provides information and advice to help better support prisoners' children and their families. It includes information and key facts about the impact of imprisonment on children and discusses some of the emotions children may be feeling. The leaflet also suggests ways that staff and schools can support children; such as creating a supportive community in which children and families can talk about what's happening, liaising with partner agencies where appropriate, authorising prison visits on school days and keeping the imprisoned family member informed about the child's school progress where appropriate.
