Nepacs and Families Outside (Scotland) were part of the ESRC funded Divided Households project led by Newcastle University, which provided children and young people impacted by imprisonment in northern England and Scotland with the essential opportunity to share their perspective. Too often, adults speak on children's behalf, yet children have their own voices, and we all need to hear them.

The messages children shared through the Divided Households project came out loud and clear: treat us like you would your own children, through approaches that are: Child centred - Consistent - Compassionate.
