Parental imprisonment is a children's rights issue:
20–27k children affected each year
c60% of people in prison are parents
2/3 of their children don't get visits
1/3 witness their parent’s arrest
Just 5% stay in the family home if mum’s imprisoned
2–3x higher risk of mental health issues

I'm excited to be speaking at @childreninscotland.bsky.social Annual Conference 28–29 May
With the UNCRC in Scots law, our focus is on working with babies, children & young people to make sure rights on paper become rights in practice.
