Jane Cater of VONNE is looking for examples of video conferencing and IT usage for families with disabilities who are distanced through prison sentences. She writes -

‘I am leading on the Family and Social Support area of the Reducing Reoffending Strategy in the NE region and we are looking at ways to improve family visits and or alternatives. If we can provide examples in the UK where IT is used to keep families in touch who would otherwise find major barriers to visiting we can include this in our action plan.’
