Can policy makers, practitioners, and leaders please STOP saying that we have to help children impacted by parental imprisonment to prevent them becoming offenders themselves. No!!! There is no research evidence that parental offending causes a child to go on to offend.
How amazing is this. We are featured on The One Show tonight raising awareness about the challenges faced by young people with a parent in prison! ❤️
Catch us tonight sharing the @BBCTheOneShow sharing our fight for better support for children with a parent in prison! @TNLComFund @ace_national @TimeMattersUK1 making theatre to make change!!!!

Next up #ihrcypf Lorna Brooks on the effect of #media reporting of parents in #prison on #yp @TimeMattersUK1 #shame importance of cross sector communication #journalism children were scared they were at risk from information released and stereotyped
Today our research focus is all about children’s experiences of witnessing the arrest of a parent. Not an easy topic but such an important one. Amazing to also be working with the police who are keen to improve outcomes for children @LJMUImpact @MerseysideVrp @apss_research
Thank you so much @shaunattwood for coming and supporting us xx
A huge honour to speak at Liverpool Town Hall for Lorna Brookes wonderful charity @TimeMattersUK1 which helps kids whose parents are in prison.
