Sarah is an independent consultant currently working with the Prison Reform Trust. Her current research passion is about helping families where a mother is in prison, and she is pushing for more support for women in the community. She is also currently helping to create a new child impact assessment so that children’s needs are better assessed at court when a parent is facing a custodial sentence. Sarah is an active volunteer at our support group, loves to cook, and the band, The Beautiful South. You can read Sarah’s article ‘What about me? Listening to the stories of children with a mother in prison’  here, and her blog which considers the need for video visits as an additional source of support for children and families here.
