Whilst we highly value our hardworking prison staff, there has been no assessment made of the implications of the pension policy of the ability of those officers to continue frontline work beyond the age of 60.
The Ministry supports all its staff, especially those working in an operational environment, and offers all staff access to medical professionals for physical and mental wellbeing.
