3. Conclusion

For more information on the research into provision for children of prisoners, visit the SCIE resource guide (see the Extra resources section above). This will also give you information about where provision can be found across the UK and ideas from which to develop your own practice. SCIE has also developed two other learning resources about the children of prisoners. One offers the opportunity to develop knowledge about facts and figures and the impact of parental imprisonment. The other examines the pathway from arrest to release and provides you with a filing cabinet of the useful services and resources that can support your practice and help children deal with being the unseen victims of crime (see Extra resources section).
