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:
Jennifer – Making a conscious decision to disclose my spent convictions still got me the job of CEO
Pheobe – Becoming a school governor with a criminal record
Tom – Inappropriate use of ‘disqualification by association’ regulations by a university
William – Ineligible Disclosure and Barring Service check leads employer to withdraw job offer
