Families' Finances

 

The Prison Reform Trust and UNLOCK (the National Association of Reformed Offenders) are working together
to improve banking and insurance services for offenders and their families. More evidence about the impact of prison on personal finances is needed. With your help, we can make sure that people in government, the banks and insurance companies understand the real impact of financial exclusion on ex-offenders and their families.

This survey is about how people are affected when a family member is remanded to prison or convicted of an offence. In this survey we refer to the family member who was convicted of a crime or remanded to prison as "your relative".

Please note: if more than one family member has been remanded to prison or convicted of an offence, then, for the purpose of this survey, please choose the one, such as your partner, who was most involved with your own personal finances.

For some questions, we have added blank spaces where you can type in an explanation.

You can also skip any question you do not wish to answer. It takes about 20 minutes to complete. The survey ends on the 25th of April, 2010.

This is a confidential questionnaire: we do not need your name and no names will be quoted in our report.

Thank you.
