We respect children and families as experts of their own experience.
We work collaboratively with families. We offer possible solutions and coping mechanisms but respect the families’ choice in what advice they wish to take or not take.
Our practitioners understand that their own personal views on how to parent, is not the ‘only’ or ‘right’ way.
We are not content to simply stick to our ways of working. Instead, we constantly try to find new and better solutions to the challenges our families face.
We take a non-judgemental approach to our practice.
We do not see children of prisoners and their families as all the same. We acknowledge individual differences and support each family in a bespoke manner.
Whilst we recognise the significant trauma that children and families face when a parent is sent to prison we do not position our families as vicitms, but as competent and able people with much to offer.
