Title | Overwhelmed and powerless: staff perspectives on mother - infant separations in English prisons |
Authors | Powell, C., Ciclitira, K. and Marzano, L. |
Abstract | Imprisoned mothers are at increased risk for poor psychological health and psychological distress when separated from their children, so staff need to be highly skilled to support the women. However, there is a paucity of research focusing on staff experiences around sensitive issues such as mother-child separation. This study aimed to understand the challenges facing staff and how these might be addressed. |
