Thank you for considering participation in this survey. Your thoughts and feedback are hugely valued and will contribute to supporting other families and children in the future.
Pact are a charity supporting people in prison, their families and children. We work in prisons, through probation and in communities. Part of our work includes providing resources for families and professionals, to help them discuss and explain imprisonment to children impacted. By taking part in this survey you will be helping us to produce a resource to help parents explain sexual offences to children in a safe, age appropriate way.
The survey is voluntary and completely anonymous (means that a person or their actions cannot be identified or linked back to them). It will take around 10 minutes to complete. We will ask whether or not you told your children about the offence, and why you made that decision. We will also ask questions about any information or resources you found or would have found useful when talking to your children.
You will not be asked for any identifying information when completing this survey. As you go through the survey, you will be able to go back and edit your responses. You can skip questions, without giving a reason. However we’d appreciate it if you can answer as many questions as possible. Please remember that this evaluation is not a test. We are only interested in your personal experience.
You can choose to withdraw, without giving a reason, by closing the survey tab before completion. However, once it has been submitted we cannot delete your survey entries as due to the anonymity of the process we will be unable to identify your survey responses from others.
Your survey responses will be kept securely in accordance with the Data Protection Act and raw data completed once reports have been completed. We will not be asking any questions that would require you to waive your confidentiality (meaning that information provided by a person is kept private).
If you have any questions or concerns about this evaluation, then please email us at info@prisonadvice.org.uk. Likewise, if you experience distress in response to your participation in the survey, please contact the Prisoner’s Families Helpline on 0808 808 2003.
You may also wish to contact forum@lucyfaithfull.org.uk if you experience any technical issues when completing the survey on the Family and Friends Forum. If you prefer to be anonymous you can email our anonymous service via this link.
