Research summary
Background: Living with COVID -19 has been hard for everyone. Children in prison/secure homes have faced the most restrictions. They may have been locked in their bedrooms, not been able to see or talk to their families and not been able to go to school.
Aim: we want to learn what the impact of COVID-19 has been on children in prison/secure homes, and how these services may have changed the way they work during this time.
Design and methods: we will conduct interviews with children who spent time in prison/secure homes during the COVID-19 pandemic. These interviews will be conducted on prison/secure home premises. We also want to do interviews with family members of these young people, staff members from the prison/secure homes, and other professionals involved in making decisions about prison/secure homes. These interviews will take place online using video calling. We will voice record all interviews so that we can turn the conversations into a written document to read and analyses.
Analysis: we will code the data and look for themes across the interviews which explain the impact of COVID-19 has been on children in prison/secure homes, and how these services may have changed the way they work. We will use these themes to produce a report of the findings and to make suggestions about how children in prison/secure homes can be better supported going forward.
