Families of Offenders Resource Kit

"Nearly 5% of all Australian children and 20% of Indigenous children have experienced parental incarceration" (Children, un-intended victims of the legal process)

The Families of Offenders Resource Kit (FORK) is funded from 2006 to 2009 by the Department of Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs under Local Answers to operate in eight Victorian local government areas:

Darebin

Port Phillip
Whittlesea Geelong
Moonee Valley City of Monash Resource Booklet Monash
City of Casey Resource Kit Casey   Wellington

 

The kit provides information for local government, community agencies and schools about:
  • The correctional system and the impact of imprisonment on offenders families;
  • Identifying "at risk" behaviours among offenders children;
  • Strategies for working with families;
  • Resources available to assist these families.
