Testimonials
"Myself and the team have found the Offploy disclosure toolkit a great addition to the services we deliver. Taking all the if's but's and maybe's out of a system where even HMP and Probation don't seem to be able to tell people when they can stop disclosing is a huge leap forward. Easy to use with simple questions and lots of help. Great work."

"We've been using Offploy's Disclosure Calculator as part of the trial, and it's been an incredibly useful tool for our rehabilitation teams. It's so simple and clear to use—for both staff and participants on our programme. The results are easy to understand and concise, which makes it much easier for us to support individuals effectively. Tools like this can play an important role in helping us set people up for success as they move forward beyond our support."

“This has loads of benefits - when I was a work coach I remember having a customer given to me who was unemployed for 2 years with relatively serious offences he did when was a young adult (30 years ago!) that he kept declaring unnecessarily and had been spent offences for a long time. Working with him and changing his mindset enabled him to move into permanent work quickly”

"DWRM is delighted to be able to offer the very practical and well thought-out toolkit to the people we are working with when they leave prison or are on probation. Disclosure is such a tricky topic and this toolkit helps to provide more certainty and guidance for people, which sits very well alongside the personal support we offer."
