Recommendation
Peer support or ‘buddy’ schemes can be an effective way to help meet the care needs of older prisoners. We commend the good work done by some prisons in partnership with third sector organisations to develop such initiatives. Prisons must ensure that prisoners providing care to other inmates are suitably trained and have appropriate oversight.
