'I told her not to worry, things would be fine and I would see her later. I couldn’t imagine anything else, that wouldn’t be possible surely? Mums don’t go to prison!'

Please take a moment to read Alice's personal account of having a parent in prison.

We had such a fun Halloween drama workshop today with @OxfordPlayhouse The children were dancing, acting out scary poses and then all collaborated to come up with a group spooky story. Big thanks to @sedgwick_beth for making the session so much fun 🎃🎃 #itwasntme

Our focus is entirely on the child in the community and not their parent in prison. Only 31% of the children we support visit their parent in #prison, and 35% have no contact with their parent in #prison, either by choice or because contact is not allowed. #parentalimprisonment

As part of #nationalvolunteerweek2022 we will be releasing video interviews on our YouTube page with some of our amazing CHAS volunteers. We kick things off today with Debbie, who volunteers at our online children groups:

Today a 5 year old talked about how kind his daddy is. Sometimes the work can be quite challenging for children, so it's important for them to remember the kind things they love about their parent in prison. He then tied them together to sow they are always connected #itwasntme

The impacts of having a #parentinprison can ripple across every relationship for a child

To celebrate @NCDUK2022 We are asking people who meet children impacted by #parentalimprisonment to #choosekind

Brilliant morning at the launch of the @ChildrenHandS #PIPN network! Fantastic to link with organisations and individuals working with and supporting children affected by #parentalimprisonment

[Children Heard and Seen @ChildrenHandS]

Thank you to those who attended the launch of the Parental Imprisonment Practitioner Network today. It’s great to learn of all the amazing work being done by individuals and projects right across the country. Together we can identify and support children with a #parentinprison

[Children Heard and Seen @ChildrenHandS]

Do you have a couple of hours a week to #volunteer in the early evening or weekends, to support a child with a parent in prison, face to face or virtually? Come along and find out more at our zoom information session on Wednesday 6th April at 7pm #parentalimprisonment

My eldest had a productive morning. Along side his @ChildrenHandS 1:1 worker, that travelled over 1.5 hours to us, he made this nightlight to help prevent his bad dreams. What a remarkable organisation with remarkable volunteers 💕

Please RT and share, its important to reach out to each other, share good practice, resources and tools so we can all become better equipped to support children with a #parentinprison
