Our community services are in the heart of many of those neighbourhoods, providing a wide range of family support services.

Through our work with families affected by imprisonment, we provide family support services at eight of the region's prisons. Our role is to enable children and young people to maintain meaningful contact with their imprisoned parent or relative. This is achieved through the provision of child friendly visits, parenting courses and information and support. This work is currently being extended to include support to families in the community.

Securing the views and wishes of families through research and consultation makes sure that our services are effective in meeting the needs of children and young people.

By raising awareness of the emerging issues we can remove the barriers which block healthy development and well-being. In sharing those findings through publications, events and promotional activity we promote good practice and influence policy development within government and the voluntary and statutory sectors.
