Children of imprisoned parents: European perspectives

“ One of the most forgotten groups of victims of crime are the children of those who are imprisoned. Whatever crimes their parents may have committed, these innocent victims suffer terribly from the wrath of the criminal justice system. This important publication continues the excellent work done by EUROCHIPS in bringing together in a very accessible manner the experience of its member groups throughout Europe in providing practical help to enable children and their imprisoned parents to maintain their family ties." ( Professor Andrew Coyle, International Center for Prison Studies, King's College, London)

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 6 themes:

· Parenting in prison

· The legal framework: international and European conventions, national law

· Influencing public policy

· Mothers and babies in prison

· Children visiting prison

· Maintaining family ties: identifying training needs and methods
