Testimonials
“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”

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."
