What is pact doing at HMP Holloway?
pact is piloting a new Kinship Care Support Service, offering help to families who find themselves looking after the child of a friend or a member of their extended family.
Our Kinship Care Support Manager is developing a range of pioneering support, aimed at people who find themselves looking after a friend or relative’s children when that person is sent to prison.
The aims of the Kinship Care Support Service
- to support family members and friends who care for children whose parents are in HMP Holloway
- to help resolve conflicts between the carers and parents of the children
- to help facilitate contact between children and their parents in these prisons.
What does pact offer?
The Kinship Care Support Service offers a range of support to carers:
- someone to talk to about any concerns you have as a carer
- help to explore how these concerns could be resolved
- relationship counselling for prisoners and kinship carers. This service is offered in partnership with Marriage Care and is suitable for all manner of family relationships, not just married couples or partners
- links to a wide range of local and national services.
