Introduction
Effective support for children impacted by a parent’s imprisonment requires the collective effort and awareness of many stakeholders, including police, prison and probation services, courts, schools, civil society, social services and health providers. COPE invites you to an upcoming webinar on the roles of two groups — school staff and prison professionals — and how they can collaboratively work to strengthen and maintain child-parent bonds when a parent is in prison. A young person whose parent was imprisoned will bring her expertise to the webinar, rooting discussions in the voice of experience. Practitioners and policy makers in education and criminal justice are invited to this cross-border discussion where child rights-based actions and ideas will be presented. For example, a champion model that works across prisons and schools, promoting partnership and providing consistent support for children across agencies. Participants will be offered resources and useful tools, such as templates for cross-sectoral collaboration and models for local roundtable events.
