Imprisonment disrupts families and while research suggests people who offend are very often the children of offenders, there is very little support for children who have a parent in prison. If prisoners can keep up their family links while in prison, they are less likely to re-offend. Our current projects are described below:
| Advice Service | Family Links |
 |  |
| NIACRO, in partnership with the Probation Service, provides a specialist advice service meeting the particular needs of people in contact with the criminal justice system. | Family Links is a programme to help families cope with having a loved one in prison. |
