In order to raise awareness amongst prisoners’ families of the Farmer Review, and as a response its recommendations, POPS (Partners of Prisoners and Families Support Group) asked children and their families from across the North-West to send in a postcard and tell them:
What they miss?
What family means to them?
What would be their one wish?
The families’ responses were woven into a short film entitled ‘#WearetheGoldenThread’ to continue the cycle of awareness raising amongst professionals.
The postcards were also displayed as part of the ’Keeping Children Connected’ conference in 2018 to encourage personal reflection on how we might all 'Think Family, Build Family and Listen'.
