| Annotation | Recent research on community placements of young offenders in day care settings for people with dementia demonstrated benefits for both generations. This article outlines the strengths offered by young offenders (e.g. physical strength and companionship) and by older people (e.g. concern for the younger generation, and valuing their contribution). Three components are identified as contributing to the scheme's success: trusting partnerships, inclusive practice, and the presence of champions. The full report of the author's research is published by the Beth Johnson Foundation as "A partnership of trust: young offenders supporting older people in care settings". (RH). |
