Answer 6

Children of prisoners are at severe risk of poorer performance on all outcomes.

Every Child Matters is the framework produced by the government to underpin better outcomes for children. Research into the effects of parental imprisonment have concluded that children affected are:
3 times more likely to have mental health problems than their peers
Likely to suffer bullying and stigma
Will experience higher levels of social exclusion
3 times as likely to engage in anti-social behaviour than their peers
Likely to suffer from increased poverty as a result of a parent being imprisoned.
