Every year around 310,000 children experience the imprisonment of a parent in the UK, which is more than the number of children affected by divorce. Prisoners' partners, children and other family members often feel lonely, stigmatised and unsure where to turn for help, support, advice and information. Health visitors (HVs) can play a key role in supporting prisoners’ families, and in helping family members access useful services and sources of advice.
