👨👩👧👧 Do you have a family member in prison? Fill in this survey on the impacts of imprisonment on families and children. 💭 We want to better understand how poverty impacts children, young people and their families when a family member is imprisoned. ✍ We're asking people to fill in this anonymous survey that aims to identify the key costs associated with imprisonment on family members. We will also seek to identify how imprisonment impacts the daily lives of children in terms of their health and wellbeing and their ability to participate fully in education, sports and social events. We are delighted to be partnering with TASC - Think-tank for Action on Social Change on this crucial piece of research. We want as many responses as possible to inform the report and shape meaningful recommendations to support families and children with a family member in prison so please share widely! 📝 Fill in the survey on our website or download the printed version: https://lnkd.in/dywtGz-J #PenalReform #CriminalJusticeSystem #Children #Families #Poverty #Prison #Jail
