@AnnieHopeWriter I think itโs always the small things that make me pause and realise the enormity of it. The play dates, parents evenings, photo sharingโฆ..
@AnnieHopeWriter I doubt many outside of the community understand the ripple effect on partners and family as a result of the knock. You highlight how far reaching it is. Thank you for posting your personal reflections so others can become aware of the impact.
@AnnieHopeWriter As always, (in this and other tweets this week about family photos) you describe so eloquently the impact of the knock. From the big life changing things (moving home with all your children in the car with very little notice) to the smaller things, the impact on play dates
We are delighted to announce that @KerryMP has joined Children Heard and Seen as a trustee.
Kerry was the very first MP to raise the issue of parental imprisonment in the House of Commons back in 2008, and has consistently campaigned for children with a parent in prison to be recognised, and offered the appropriate support.
In May last year, Kerry brought forward a 10-Minute Rule Bill calling for a statutory mechanism to identify and support children with a parent in prison, which led to that very commitment in Labour's general election manifesto.
We look forward to adding Kerry's wealth of expertise, knowledge and experience to our board of trustees.
Watch the full 10-Minute Rule Bill below:

So proud to have been part of this amazing charity @SaferLF and so sad to know it has folded due to lack of funding. A much needed service.
