Looking back over the last couple of months, we’ve written up a few examples of the people we’ve helped.
We hope they give a good idea of how we help people.
However, more importantly than our role, we think that these examples show how people with convictions are able to overcome some of the barriers that have been put in their way due to their criminal record.
We’ve posted the examples below as case studies in the support section of our website:
Albert – My daughter shouldn’t have been ‘Disqualified by association’ due to my caution
Diana – Not letting a criminal record stop her from moving on with her life
Paul – Spent convictions should be disregarded for insurance purposes
Wendy – Historic minor conviction from 22 years ago caused problems securing a job
