Service provided by Prison Advice and Care Trust (Pact)
Together, a Chance: prison-based social workers
Together a Chance employs two prison-based social workers to support mothers in HMPs Send and Eastwood Park. Their role is to bridge the gap between the prison and social services in the community, keeping mothers in touch with their children where it is in the child’s best interests.
Pact’s social workers offer intensive one-to-one support for women, empowering them to engage in matters involving their child, speak for themselves in court, and understand processes and how to work with them. They also provide a vital link with community social workers who have children of female prisoners on their caseload and who may be reluctant to encourage familial visits or contact.
