New Checklist Helps Families Navigate the UK Criminal Justice System
The Unseen Victims Community Interest Company has developed a comprehensive checklist to assist families dealing with the complexities of the UK criminal justice system. The checklist focuses on empowering families to take proactive steps when a loved one is arrested or imprisoned, rather than reacting in crisis mode.
Key elements of the checklist include:
- Legal Advice: Understanding the importance of securing immediate legal representation and knowing one’s rights.
- Prison Support: Tips on navigating the prison system, maintaining contact with incarcerated loved ones, and accessing available support services.
We are THE ONLY organisation who are able to offer support, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
- Peer-to-Peer Support: Connecting with others who have experienced similar situations, providing emotional support and practical advice.
- Positive Mental Health: Encouraging families to prioritize their mental well-being and utilize resources to cope with the emotional toll of supporting a loved one in prison.
With the UK prison population predicted to rise significantly, this checklist is a vital tool for families facing the challenges of the criminal justice system. By taking these steps, families can find a path to resilience and hope during difficult times.
