This pan-European conference, hosted by Małopolskie Stowarzyszenie Probacja and in partnership with Children of Prisoners Europe (COPE), will consider the importance of cross-sectoral support for children with imprisoned parents. A range of international and Polish speakers will look at the many points at which the best interests and rights of children should be taken into account, from the moment of a parent’s arrest, to sentencing, to family reintegration.
The conference will feature the voices of young people affected by parental imprisonment and will include opportunities for audience engagement and discussion. The keynote will be given by Dariusz Cieślik, County Court Judge, Family and Minors, Ministry of Justice and the conference will be co-chaired by COPE President Lucy Gampell, OBE and COPE Board member Rachel Brett.
