HMP Onley Families and Significant Others Strategy

Imported from official source

HMP Onley family strategy outlines how we support prisoners in our care to develop meaningful and constructive relationships with their family or significant others.

You can find visiting information and book a visit on the Onley Prison main page.

At HMP Onley, we recognise that positive relationships with families and significant others play a vital role in supporting rehabilitation, reducing reoffending, and promoting the wellbeing of those in our care. We are committed to fostering a culture that values and strengthens these relationships as a core part of our custodial environment.

  • Promote meaningful connections
    Encourage and support prisoners to maintain regular, positive, and constructive contact with their families and significant others through visits, digital communication, and correspondence.
  • Create a welcoming and respectful environment
    Ensure all families and significant others are treated with dignity, fairness, and respect when engaging with HMP Onley, recognising their important role in a prisoner’s rehabilitation journey.
  • Provide safe and inclusive family engagement opportunities
    Deliver and support family-focused interventions, visits, and events that strengthen relationships, promote parenting roles, and support family unity where appropriate.
  • Communicate clearly and effectively
    Provide accessible information and guidance to families about processes, policies, and support services, ensuring transparency and consistency.
  • Work in partnership with key stakeholders
    Collaborate with community organisations, support services, and partner agencies to enhance provision for families and ensure continuity of support beyond custody.
  • Support staff to deliver this vision
    Equip our staff with the skills, knowledge, and understanding to recognise the importance of family ties and to actively promote family engagement in their daily work.
