In addition to being 1 separated from their parent in prison, children with an incarcerated parent frequently face difficult circumstances as a result of the imprisonment of their parent; research has shown that without intervention, they are at greater risk of economic difficulties, loss of housing, family breakdown, stigma and mental health problems2. However, constant meaningful contact between children and an imprisoned parent reduces these risk factors for children and allows parents in prison to maintain agency in their parental role3. Children should thus be allowed to maintain regular contact with their parent, and child-friendly protocols should be implemented to facilitate this contact, including protocols in prisons to support a child-friendly environment. Facilitating maintenance of the childparent relationship through instituting child-friendly, material changes can raise children’s chances of living a healthy adult life.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
