Many families with a loved one in custody will be struggling with the unavoidable closure of visit facilities at all prisons due to the Covid 19 outbreak. This is especially true for children who may no longer be able to visit a parent.
If you are a parent/carer and need some support helping children to understand and cope with this change please get in touch with our Parenting Matters service staff at the various establishments below.
