Abstract

This handbook of practice and experience is designed for specialists and volunteers working with or for children of imprisoned parents. It seeks to promote, expand and inspire good practice relating to this vulnerable group of children and revolves around six themes: * Parenting in prison: supporting the imprisoned parent; * The legal framework: international and European conventions, national law and maintaining family ties; * Influencing public policy; * Mothers and babies in prison; * Children visiting prison; * Maintaining family ties: identifying training needs and methods.Each chapter offers a European approach and perspective on some of the work currently being carried out across Europe, presenting a commonality that transcends borders and national judicial and penal policies, rather than an exhaustive, nation-by-nation approach. As a whole, the handbook provides a child-centred guide for ideas and initiatives that foster and reinforce family ties for children with imprisoned parents and protect their emotional, psychological and social development.
