Vote 21 - Prisons

Ms Caron McCaffrey:
We implemented a Family Links programme on a pilot basis. It is around facilitating engagement between the children of prisoners and their parents while the parents are in custody. It involves facilitating positive engagement between the child and parent, providing parenting support and training to prisoners, and facilitating them in, for example, helping their children do their homework, so it is a very worthwhile project-----
