Breaking the Cycle Campaign

Posted on


The Daily Express has worked with Children Heard and Seen to launch a media campaign called Breaking the Cycle, raising awareness surrounding parental imprisonment. We were a significant contributor to the launch article and the campaign plans to conduct interviews with families we support for future articles. During the campaign, we will endeavour to always protect the welfare and safety of family members. You can read the article that launched the campaign on Jan 3rd here:

It was so exciting to see our work and the interests of children with a parent in prison being highlighted in a national newspaper, and we really hope that this really gets people talking and changes hearts and minds. Hopefully the Breaking the Cycle Campaign will make big changes to address the shame and stigma faced by young people with a parent in prison.
