Dates and Times:

Tuesday 21 January 2025 – bitesize lunchtime webinar – 12 to 1pm

The sessions will provide an increased awareness of the issue of parental imprisonment, the range of impacts on children and young people (and their families), the types of support that children may need to lessen these impacts.

Through raising awareness and confidence for attendees, children and young people will receive support from adults that helps to reduce their sense of shame and stigma, help them process their complex and confusing feelings, and support them to hold on to hope and realise their full potential.

This multi-agency training will be delivered by Children Heard and Seen (CHAS).
