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:
Abbie – How I challenged an enforced Subject Access Request (SAR) and kept my job
Sandra – Using a self-disclosure statement helped my daughter get a college place
Teresa – I challenged my employers decision following disclosure of a filtered conviction
Liam – I successfully appealed my employer’s decision to dismiss me due to ‘unsatisfactory conduct’
