“One of the most useful training sessions I have done. I would make this mandatory for all client advisers."

"Well worth the eight-hour round-trip from Devon! Very informative and inclusive.”

Are you up-to-date with criminal record disclosure legislation?

Do you feel confident advising your clients with criminal records about exactly what they need to disclose and the best way to do so?

The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (ROA) has changed for the first time in 40 years. In addition, a filtering system removing certain cautions and convictions from DBS certificates was introduced in 2013. Correctly advising your clients on their rights and responsibilities when disclosing criminal records will help to increase their chances of securing employment.

Who is it for?

This course is for front-line practitioners and advisers to increase their confidence to support people with criminal records into employment, education and training.

What you'll learn

On this one-day workshop, you will:

Understand how to apply the ROA, the ROA Exceptions Order and advise your clients on when their convictions may become spent and/or eligible for filtering
Learn about the impact of criminal records on education and employment options
Understand exactly what your clients need to disclose and in which circumstances
Find out which employers and organisations that welcome applications from people with criminal records
Improve your confidence in helping them to prepare for positive disclosure.
