Is your criminal record causing you a problem?
Do you need help or support to overcome the barriers caused by your caution or conviction?
Would it help to speak to a helpline advisor at one of our new ‘Zoom Surgeries’?
Our trained advisors can provide information and advice on a range of issues including:
- Understanding the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act and working out when your caution/conviction will become spent.
- The different types of criminal record check and what appears on them.
- Disclosing your conviction to an employer.
- Applying to college or university with a criminal record.
If you would like to speak to one of our advisors face-to-face, we are now offering appointments at our ‘Zoom Surgery’ on Thursday 8 September 2022.
To book, please click here and select the time you’d like.
You’ll be asked to provide an email address so we can send you a Zoom link which will enable you to join the appointment. Don’t worry if you haven’t got a Zoom account, you won’t need one.

The page says you have a zoom surgery on 8th Sept, invites you to book a time via the calendar but nothing is available the whole month. I am not sure if all appoints are booked or the calendar is not working.
Hi Karen
The Zoom Surgery on the 8th September is part of a pilot project. If it goes well today then we will be adding further dates in November.
Best wishes

Hi Debbie
It says no available appointments in November too. Are you facing issue or are you genuinely unavailable?
Hi Alec
Really sorry but once again our Zoom Surgery appointments were taken very quickly. We will be offering further surgeries in December.
Best wishes
