Parents In Prison

At Fazakerley Primary School, we recognise that having a parent in prison can have a profound impact on a child’s wellbeing and educational experience. Children with a parent in prison may face a range of challenges, including emotional stress, social stigma, and disruptions in their routines. These can affect their behaviour, concentration, and confidence at school, potentially impacting their overall academic progress and social development.

We are committed to providing a supportive, inclusive environment for all our pupils. If your child has a parent in prison, we encourage you to inform a member of our staff. By sharing this information, you help us understand and respond to your child’s unique needs, ensuring they receive the additional support they may require. Please rest assured that all information shared with us is treated with the utmost confidentiality and only disclosed to staff on a 'need-to-know' basis.

We are here to support you and your child through any challenges they may face, and we appreciate your trust in sharing this information with us.

'‘A Hidden Sentence' is a video created by young people impacted by having a parent in prison. The film was created by Digital Me, working with Nepacs and a group of young people in the north east of England.

‘Children with a Parent in Prison’; this animated video has been created to help others understand exactly what children can face when they find themselves in this situation.
