Unlock Potential - Broaden Your Workforce

Have you considered employing people with a criminal record?

1. Find Talent

Around 50,000 people released from prison each year. Many worked successfully before prison. Your business can tap into a diverse talent pool of people with a wide range of backgrounds, life experiences and skills to suit almost any sector.

2. Save Money

Businesses that recruit and employ this way can earn loyalty from offering people a second chance. Employers report people staying with them for longer than average. This reduces recruitment costs and increases staff retention.

3. Make a difference

An opportunity can transform not just a life but many. Each year an estimated 200,000 children had a parent in prison. Employment opportunities for those parents can make a huge difference to their families and and wider communities.
