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

Many areas of children’s lives in Scotland – like immigration and social security – are decided at UK level, where UNCRC rights aren’t as strongly protected. That’s why we’re backing calls for a duty on UK Ministers and mandatory CRIAs in the Children’s Wellbeing & Schools Bill. #UNCRCScotland
