title: Charity develops staff resource pack to help older prisoners.
abstract: A RESOURCE pack for working with older prisoners has been produced by crime reduction charity Nacro and the Department of Health. The pack was created so that prison staff can use its contents to implement good practice ideas and set up activities for older prisoners. Good practice ideas cover nutrition, palliative care and falls prevention. A section is included on health and ageing and recognising and responding to illnesses common among older prisoners.
