This handbook is a practical resource to help Sure Start Children's Centres support children and their families affected by imprisonment.
Children's Centres, with their combination of universal and targeted services, their base in the community, and their potential for early intervention, are a key resource for meeting the needs of this group. This handbook provides practical guidance and suggestions on how Children's Centres can develop their reach to, and practice with, these children and families. The handbook covers the main research, gives examples of good practice and provides a checklist to help Children's Centres ensure they are doing everything possible to support this vulnerable group. Furthermore an A3 poster is provided for display, which emphasises that the Children's Centre supports children of prisoners, and provides details of resources and support organisations. Barnardo's i-HOP exclusively offers a free PDF of the children's centre handbook and a stand alone poster for children's centres.
