Barnardo's NICCO: Assisting social care professionals to support children of offenders

This document contains a poster and two page briefing about children and families affected by parental offending and how NICCO can assist social care professionals to support them.

The briefing summarises some of the key outcomes for these families, and highlights the importance of social care teams having an understanding of this issue and the ability to provide support and information for families in this situation. It is likely that social workers may already be working with many families affected by parental offending and imprisonment, and their role with these families mean it is essential for them to have an awareness of the associated needs. The briefing highlights how i-HOP can help social care professionals to provide support and information to children and families affected by parental imprisonment. The poster and briefing include direct quotes from families and examples of practice.
