A brilliant hour this afternoon spent hearing from a range of experts from the criminal justice sector on the critical issue of fair chance employment in the UK and how the Fair Chance employment charter provides an innovative and unique solution to this employer and societal opportunity.
With thanks to our host, Clinks, and our excellent speakers:
Ruth McFarlane from DWRM (Doing What Really Matters)
John Burton from Inside Connections
Georgie Mitchell from Bridge of Hope Careers
Annette So from Criminal Justice Alliance
Ellie Grudgings from Unlock – for people with criminal records
And our own Kate Carr
There was a real feeling of shared ambition and appetite for collaboration. We look forward to welcoming even more voluntary sector organisations into the Alliance, and using our collective voice to amplify our calls for fair chance employment across the UK.
