A new resource for early years providers has been produced to help staff support children with a parent or close relative in prison.
The pack has been produced by the London Early Years Foundation (LEYF) alongside charity the Prison Advice and Care Trust (PACT).
It shares guidance on supporting children with a loved one in prison including practical ideas to encourage emotional intelligence, supporting the child at home and preparing for a prison visit.
The resource has been published as part of LEYF’s London Institute of Early Years which provides continued professional development and training across the early years.
