What our clients say
“As part of my work, I occasionally have to advise clients who have a criminal record. Being part of a small team made it difficult to commit to a full day’s training but being able to work through these online modules in my own time was perfect. For any one looking to get a basic understanding of criminal record disclosure, I’d highly recommend it.” [Beth, Housing Advisor]
