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.
More importantly, 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:
Barney – The discrimination I faced by insurers following my conviction was a real eye opener
Hilario – Being clear on disclosure rules allowed me to get settled status in the UK
Stephanie – Having failed to get Google to remove links to my name an application to the ICO proved more successful
