A year after Employment Advisory Boards were established - linking business bosses to prisons to provide advice on jobs skills - the number of former offenders in work 6 weeks after release has increased by nearly half reports @MoJGovUK gov.uk/government/new…

@redemptionroast believes there is always a job for a good barista or roaster, proving specialty coffee can come from places & people you wouldn’t expect. It was fab to catch up with the team at the London Coffee Festival, as they have been supporters of our campaign since 2017.

Half of respondents to a YouGov survey said that they would not consider employing an offender or ex-offender. We need to change perceptions. People with convictions are often highly motivated to work hard and move on from their conviction. #bringhope

"The re-offending rate for young people in the 18-25 age bracket is 38.4% (MOJ, Oct, 2020). We believe that by tackling digital poverty among this cohort we can help people get back on their feet and move forwards." @DigiPovAlliance 💻 ow.ly/z7A750IvPLI #employment #tech

1.19 million people were convicted in England and Wales in the year ending September 2020. Of these convictions, 50% were for motoring offences, 7% resulted in a prison sentence, and 77% resulted in a fine. And yet, 50% of employers would reject someone with a conviction.
